Post war....?
Thanks Lang
Seems that the ones I have may be post war......... at both ends I have 3 1.5 inch slots and the top surface is recessed to allow for overlap....so some kind on flat bar fastener must have been used....... this would link mats lenghtwise as well as sideways...... I have not been able to see any pictures of the ones I have....... Cheers

For those who might wonder about the first image, it was taken in South Vietnam. The artillery weapon is a 105mm L5 pack howitzer. I understand that PSP is still an Engineer store item.
The other images posted by Lang are WW2. Mike

I suspect the Vietnam picture shows Pierced (or perforated) Aluminum Plate which was a lighter almost exact copy of the old steel plate.

Here is a great detailed movie of laying steel matting on Munda (Bougainville)
Laying starts after the tree clearing at about 3.30min in. https://youtu.be/X5gZMY4r5qs
