I wonder if this was a Road Move the Regiment had to do on short notice and they could not wait for their usual transport to help get everything from Point A to Point B in the allotted time available?

I believe the ammunition box #4 is being held in position from a web strap slung through the boxes metal handles.

Here are the rest of the series of pictures taken of Aristocrat. Army Numerical Album # 84

In the 70s I was in a reserve wheeled recce unit. We had a long list of issue vehicle kit, patrol kit, and sometimes troop kit. Stowage was seldom dictated down to where to put the 2-burner stove in the M38A1 Jeep. Individual crews had different baggage too. I preferred the zippered duffel bag and a single sleeping bag valise for my kit, but not everyone had exactly the same issue. Generally equipment was stored within the confines of the tarp so it wouldn't fall off on a road move.

I would follow Ed's sage advice about relying on photos, but also show a little constructive thoughtfulness when dressing your vehicle.

Thanks Jordan for the five photos. I don't think I have ever seen #5 before. Here is a photo of another C15TA.
#1 a chore horse mounted on POW rack a little differently
#2 Gerry can strapped on front fender with proper straps
#3 just one of the aerial locations
#4 roof rack

Cheers
Barry
