To my knowledge metal bren ammo boxes were only used for transport if ammunition to forward troops, under the CQMS it would have been swapped over to webbing containers, hence the bin in the Gunner’s left should be filled with the Webbing Auxiliary pouches also. Picture getting that box out in a hurry, scrabbling for more Bren Ammunition.
Incidentally I have some spare cross straps to link those pouches if you want some.

Loyd carrier has its Bren magazines in the steel box too. Granted it's not likely to be in the same situations as a UC but I don't think the steel box was just for transport to the users.

is identical in size to the drivers tool box in the LP2 and LP2A carriers down under. The 3 manuals and a tool roll are held in it I believe!
Interesting that the large illustrations in the UC manuals don't give an indication. Rob |

Posted many times before, but this video shows the stowage in the LH bin (https://youtu.be/-nTsnfEAjzI?si=fsyFN8p_x8tYxdB5), don’t think it mentions the small compartment in the RH bin though.
Interesting to hear people’s evidence of the boxes being carried on the vehicle. I guess there are no real rules of use in wartime!
