Default Liners and Belt Boxes

Gentlemen,

Thanks for those great scans of the U'Carrier with Vickers.

I have a question for those in the know about the feeding of that breed of MG.

There is a carrier of sorts beside the gun itself. It looks like the "Carrier, belt, box, .303-in. Vickers, M.G., Mk 3" outlined in Ian Skennertons Small Arms Identification Series.

My question - is that carrier on the U'Carrier mount this mount? It almost appears integral to the mount, and the Carrier Mk3 looks like it hangs on the side of the crosshead.

Do those mounts accept liners, or the wooden boxes that belted ammo came in, or the Box, belt, Vickers No. 8, or No. 10 that all seem to carry the Vickers belts???

Thanks for your thoughts.
