I've seen photos of Boys rifles mounted in Australian Carriers, but haven't yet seen any photos of them in Kiwi carriers. So these mounts existed in Australia at least.
My hull having the holes for this mount could be a cross-over from the Australian blue-prints on which our kiwi LP's are based? There are Boys rifles here in NZ though, so they could've been mounted in Carriers. There is a boys mount in the LP Carrier books that is essentially two hooks that clamp the rifle down on to the bracket. The bracket then fixes to any vertical flat plate on the carrier. Perhaps this kind of hook arrangement is also used in the Scout mount? I'll see if I can find a picture to show you what I mean.

They may have gone with most of the 106 recoiless rifles, and most of the M113s

If the mount is for the boys your your missing a complete adaptor of some description that attaches the boys frame to that mount, most likely attached to the frame via the monopod mounting screw, as its at this point it's strongest.

Kevin, the mount that Alex posted would work by hooking the hook bolts over the frame and pulling it down onto the grooves in the plate.
