If not, than why did they carry 25 pounder shells in the same area in the rear body? With 6 enfields stored it could be a possibility. I bought one style and have it sitting in that spot.

Need an old arty guy that still remembers what it was used for! I have asked several, no ideas.

I found a "walk around" pictures of a quite luxurious CGT.

The .303 ammo box seems to fit a little bit better to the brackets than the P60 (I have allready bought 3 of them. Hope they fit to the doors above the rear wheels )

Default Ammunition Box

The H51 Wooden Insert boxes were not manufactured until 1945, so be cautious of 'walk around' photographs showing lots of luxurious stuff attached to a restored vehicle.

Thank you, Ed.
I am cautious, that's why I am asking here.
I will try my P60 boxes ASAP.

What about the radio in this one? IS this instalation probable?

It's certainly not a 'factory' installation but here's a WW2 photo with something similar. The cap badge is neither signals or artillery. Armoured Corps?
