Thanks Mike - great photo, I see the canvas mudguards are having a hard time , and there are the 18 Pdr firing platforms, the gaping modified hole in the rear door for the tow hook - it's not nice.

Indicator. Fuze. 18Pdr. Q.F. Mk1 & 11
The 1913 Handbook placed the Fuze Indicators as one behind the Gun Shield, and another on top and to the rear of the Ammunition Wagon.
It appears that the Indicator had a transformation near the beginning of ww1, from a large ‘Clock’ to a ‘Slide Rule’, which became Indicator Mk11 …. this made all the original Indicators – Mk1’s.# This had me wondering when in time were the obvious ( Mk 11? ) ‘Indicator’ brackets placed on the Wagon’s upper rear door,- and ‘found’ in the Amendments 1914/15 the instructions for the locations for the Mk11 Indicator, - behind and top right of the Gun Shield ( as the Carragh Camp Museum Gun - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mQ5oGqYHco&t=544s ), ), and at the rear of the Ammunition Wagon. So mid/late ww1 production Wagons had the Brackets installed…….

Indicator. Fuze. 18Pdr. Q.F. Mk1 & 11
I can see my original Mk11 Indicator being stored in ….. not a beautiful ww1 Leather Case, like at Carragh – but in an Aussie ww2 Canvas one, even though the latest pic of the Gun Crew show the Aussies didn’t bother about caring for the instrument.
So until further notice here is my Indicator, in storage. Leather strap and buckles to follow, I prefer the buckle under but the pics show buckle coming from top….. some poetic license here
