Thanks Bruce.
I don't think the board can fit behind the seat in the Mk2 carrier as its a smaller back. On the Mk1 it fits nicely behind the lower seat adjustment rod. In my Cnd Drivers manual it lists the board as being stored behind the seat back.

The stowage changed between the different Marks and models. I cant remember why, but I believe Jordan is correct for the MkI* Its hard to argue about the MkII* (now that we have a picture) As for Richards Bkt, I think it carries the D handled Vickers cleaning rod, that works for the Bren as well.

I think Lynn's right for it being for the "d" handle for the Lewis/Bren cleaning rod. The Boys rod folds into smaller sections i think.

I just checked the drivers manual again. It states that the "Rod, cleaning for Boys' Rifle... In clips on hull side plate left of gunner"
