from memory
I recall a sheet metal insert with 4" diameter holes cut in it, probably spot welded in. Was this box only big enough to take 2 dischargers side by side, or 4 by stacking them? Otters and Fox have exposed bins for these made out of sheet metal, however a lot of the inserts on Mk.1 carriers are wood (grenade boxes, Bren spare barrel box for example).
Tony, thanks for the picture of the Australian signal cartridge box. It's a good thing those carriers were never used above the equator as, if they were, the gravity would cause all the flares to fall out when you opened the lid.
Rob, sideways? I never thought of that. Yes it should, but here I was thinking someone might want access to the controls in that location. Probably not though.
