On the Cdn carriers, the flare gun is mounted on a bracket to the right of the radio operator in the back. (the same bracket also has a dummy grease nipple for the end of the grease gun flex hose). Why would you need a flare gun in the front? It's a signalling device, not a fighting tool. Better to keep the front bombed up with offensive devices like Brens or Boyes. The flare gun is more at home with the radio set, which is also a signalling device.
Mind you, it's hard to apply reason to a vehicle which has been built completely upside down. Must be a bugger trying to pour oil into the engine, and hard on the eyes checking the electrolyte levels.
