Hi Jordan, yes it is the same type as the one pictured at Duxford.

The schematics are interesting, the right hand one is clearly labelled as a MKV, however the left hand one, the one in question is labelled MK1. Does this refer to the mount or the Bren MK1, it is far more complex than the British MK1 version so could this be a Canadian MK1?

Hanno this might tally with your Canadian pamphlet then?

Another odd thing is that in a former post it was remarked that several of these mounts had come over from Portugal in recent years, a country who received mostly Canadian equipment after the war, Foxs, gun tractors, trucks, Grizzlies etc. so could this mount be Canadian in manufacture? it is certainly different from all the other MKs in not having any counter balance springs.

Any ideas on this? just thinking out loud!!!
