Did the early universals not dump the water through the hull floor?

I've just looked for an overflow container or catch tank listed in the British carrier parts books and manuals up to and including MK1's and can't see anything. It looks like the tube from the radiator pressure cap goes into a rubber tube then through the 90* brass elbow bolted to the engine frame then down into the floor and drains out of the vehicle. If I've missed the catch tank I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

The photo of the Scout below shows a different arrangement to that of Ross' original post. It has the spacer to clear the battery tray (we assume) but not the tray. This must be an earlier version, certainly British but I can't be sure when the spacer was dropped in favour of the tray. Was the tray a Canadian thing?

Sorry Ross, I can't find anything here to measure to get your dimension.

With thanks to Lynn E., Manfred M., Jordan B. and others.
In inches, the bracket measures close to 7.5 x 3 x 5.5.
No significant dimensional difference was found in production samples of TL 13282 and C21UCM 13282.
