I agree with Dave. Even if your mystery plate and holes are for aerial masts I'm certain the masts would be encased in some sleeve to prevent mud and moisture splattering all over them. The mast collars would not do well with grit in them, not to mention the Signal Corps credo of cleanliness and ready to operate in an instant components.

I see one mast on the right cab running board just behind the side window. The HUW has one there as well. The second HUW one is mounted horizontally in the top right inside of the rear wireless body where the sheet body metal curves to form the roof. That's exactly where the right side rifle clips are on the WIRE-3 body. Rifles and aerial masts are just about the same 'diameter'. So just wondering...are those rifle clips on the top right of the WIRE-3 real meant for rifles?
