The Commer book let you down??
I think you are 100% correct about it being cut. One mention in everything I have read does not seem right. The main holding brackets, in from each end, have been drilled for a rivet, possibly to fasten a buffer of some sort? but have never seen anything actually fitted.
As always, thanks for the help
Rich.

Rich unfortunately of the FVRDE Design Specs I have for Humbers I do not have the FV1602 one.

But I do have the WO Spec for FV1606 dated March 1950. Amongst the many tools carried it includes:

Bar Crow 4' 1"

So would that be the right length? I have a number of VAOS for MT tools but none of them include any sort of crow bar.

Nope, length would be 3 1/2 ft.
I can only assume it may be for lifting earth stakes or something to do with the FFW as it is too short for earth works. If I knew what shape it was that would give some indication as to its purpose.
