Here is another photo of the Motley mount. There are a number of variants to this rig and they were in production for several years, especially at the beginning of the war. Motleys were used on motorcycles as well as on trucks. The Armoured Train, on Canada's West coast, employed these to mount Brens in an AA role, on top of the carriages. The lack of sufficient AA guns forced the use of Brens, which in turn led to the popularity of the Motley mount. This also led to the development of the 100-round magazine.
Let me know if you want additional photos.
