Back in the day, I found a couple of these carriers up in Northern Ontario. Most/many of the brackets were still on them. However, the thought of trying to scare up that many 3" mortar stowage tubes scared me off from trying to put a mortar variant together, so I traded off the brackets to a fellow in Quebec.
