M38A1 bracket question

[rob love]

I have never seen either bracket on any military vehicle. We usually just picked a suitable screw somewhere on the dash to hold the PMR (USR). The lower screws of the light switch were a common position. The tags were somewhat useless on the open top vehicles anyway. By the time it came around to needing serviceing, the ink had long faded away to nothing.

In the days of the older M-series stuff, it was fairly acceptable to drill away and install all kinds of gadgets. When the Iltis came out, the messgaes started about no unauthorised modifications. As a mechanic, we saw some real winners, like guys drilling right through the hulls of a M113 to install things like lighting.
