Perhaps if you removed the monopod and rails it mounted on the barrel support "nut" as it has lugs .

The gun appears to stay complete. I've never seen a better picture of the mount or gun in the mount until I got these parts.
The monopod is always folded forward and at the same fixed height from the pictures I've seen. Ben

Ben, great to see the mount fitted. I did wonder if we would ever know what they looked like. Quite different from what I expected.

Very nice Ben. With that square hole of the right there must be an adaptor that is missing. It must be shown in a boys manual or a scout manual one would hope. If you can borrow a Boys you could replicate your photo and see if anything lines up as a clue.
If there were such a thing, I would nominate your Scout for 'listing' just like a building of significance

It's fantastic when these very specific parts go to the right home. Many people, aware of the rarity, assign them some huge 'value' and hang on to them.
Well done to all involved!

What a fantastic find, Ben!
Would you be able to provide the measurements for the mounting hole centres for this mount to the hull?
