LP2A fitting question

[matilda IIA]

Hi Guys

I also have a late carrier (4954) with this fitting, also you should note the provision on the air scoop for a strap to hold the base of the object and also a support just to the right of the bren muzzel box and just above the top leg support for the vickers tripod. This fitting also as provision for a strap...

Please be aware that the bren box is bent...to the right in the attached photo, but thats another story !!

I have reviewed the manuals I have and although they show the vickers tripod in place nothing is placed on the support that can also be seen in the photos.

My other carriers do not have these fittings.

Kind regards
Matt

Thankyou for the well put together reply. The chap I asked on behalf of, has found another carrier (9 digit different serial number) here in NZ with the same fittings, so we can now be sure that what ever they are for, was a standard fitting arrangement on both sides of theTasman. (was it a factory build, or an service modification?)
Thankyou all for the input.
