I have had a couple of the rear plates over the years with the rear convoy lamp installed. They both had the metal lamps like Kevin shows. They were from mid production mk1 carriers.

So, All we need now is a picture of the bracket that attaches the light to the rear plate. The carrier at the Mucklebourgh museum has a axle light fitted, so does another carrier i know, looks like another ride out with the camera and measuring tape.
Would be nice if someone had this info already to post on here. Kevin.

hi, If you are looking for an axle light for a british carrier get yourself one of these, 'towing rear light extension'. Same lampholder as in my first posting in this thread and you also get several metres of carrier wiring cable.

I bought a couple of these type of lights and always understood that they were to attach to a towed gun muzzle, seemed to make sense. John.

It looks as if we are talking about two different lights here. Some shown are used to light up the rear diff, painted white, on British vehicles and trailors. The other type seems to be for the rear light on Bren carriers,. Which light do you want pictures of. John.
