kevin the shot you have attached looks more like a 6 pounder to me i know they used the 6pdr shields on 2pdr attack carriers in Canada but that shot shows clearly it has a 6pdr saddle and elevator gear and only thing i can see different is it looks likea 2pdr operating handle on side of breach
In Australia they mounted a 2pdr on rear of carrier and amo was in a toast rack on right side that held the eight rounds in standard storage tins with cardboard tubes i think they had four tins in them . The standard 2pdr anti tank gun had two boxes of ammo in a ready use locker on right of gun and another two tins of rounds in storage behind this locker in front of shield which was standard to all uk and australian 2pdr anti tank guns if you need shots of standard 2pdr eight tround tins let me know regards' rod

Hi, Rod I am 100% sure that gun is a 2 pounder, check out the photos in the thread 'high resolution carrier pictures' find it in the mlu search engine. It has the 6 pdr shield. I would like some shots of the tins you have please.
thanks kevin.

John
thats a new one on me have you any more shots of it i have 6pdr shield with plate for 2 and 6pdr always tagged it to 2pdr on carrier interesting great to learn new thngs hard to tell from shot but looks like they use a 6pdr recoil and just a 2pdr barrel and sleigh unit wonder why they carried on that way did they have a shortage of 6pdr barrels or a surplus of mounts to use left over barrels from 2pdr production? shield appears to have a more sharper bend in i tlike one i have here I suspect was a latter production regards Rod
