Rich,
Fantastic pictures! The Norton Bren mounting reminds me of the Motley mounts, with counterbalancing springs at the rear helping to make the Bren as weightless as possible. Even the chair is particular to the mounting, with what could possibly be the first military use of a safety belt in a vehicle!
It seems that quite a few were produced, as the mounts seem to be all exactly the same, suggesting a production run rather than a one-off or a prototype.
