Here's a chorehorse replacing the ration box on a Canadian Mk.1* carrier with the Royal Canadian Regiment in Sicily, 1943. Generally wireless batteries were charged behind the lines and brought forward similar to rations, however it made sense to be self reliant if you could manage it. Note the British aerial base and aerial lead from the side suggesting the radio might be a 22 set instead of the No.19 you'd expect.

It’s also a Cnd contract Chorehorse. It features the weather shield over the control box and doesn’t have cage.
