Australian Stuart rear fittings

[David Herbert]

My first thought was brackets to support the rear section of the sand guards but I can't find a decent photo to support or refute that. The only other idea that I had was mountings for electricaly fired smoke dischargers. Most British army tanks were retrofitted with them if they wern't built with them. The discharged air from the engine bay helped to spread the smoke from the smoke cartridges. My Ram had them welded to one of the rear engine doors. There will be a photo somewhere to prove it !
