Exactly. Good attitude. Pictures can be deceiving though. The shovel handle bracket on the 1943 C01UC MK-I* in the Ditsong Museum, J'Burg, SA is a standard handle depth. Perhaps someone has a copy of a DME circular showing the change? A few of the factory images from Ford, Canada appear to show the "two-shovel" modification. Have they added a second retaining strap for the second shovel? Note this is for the seldom seen "tool plate mounted" towing bracket, with the pickaxe head relocated to the bottom of the tool plate.

So is the shovel blade holder any different ? Just thinking if it has to fit two blades over one ?

I'm guessing, no, Richard.
Thanks Simon.
