Thanks to Arjan, John and Hanno. I have been waiting for a spare parts breakdown of the lunette and housing for at least 30years. What a wonderful surprise this morning to see it in such detail

Note the mortar trailer on tow behind a F15A. It could be the same as shown on the footage quoted above. Source: http://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.redire...26722&lang=eng and http://central.bac-lac.gc.ca/.redire...26721&lang=eng

So what are we seeing here? Definitely not a standard 10-cwt trailer. Could it be a civilian one?

Some comments from another forum: "the consensus from a previous discussion was a one off built most likely on British chassis due to the easy clean wheels used on lots of British cars." "The Dutch Irene Brigade bought there cars, trucks, trailers etc from many sources including civilian. After their landing in Normandy they passed a location were the German army left behind a lot of equipment and the Dutch took what they could use. They took a lot of German tool trailers among other trailers, cars and even some halftracks that were used until the end of the war."
