Default Mortar bipod advice

Hi all,
I have picked up a 3" Mortar Bipod for my LP2 Mortar Carrying BGC.

I know it is missing the square cut screw threads (traverse & elevation)- were these brass? hence why they have gone (scrap).
Is there a parts list to identify what is missing? Then I can try and source those items. Presumke there must be a handle to adjust the aim of the tube?

Does anyone have the items that I am missing?

It is marked MTG 3IN MOR, CBC and the D&D. No dates.

Required some heat and gently persuasion to spread the legs, will get it sand blasted when the weather improves for painting.

Also a round came with it, not what I thought was a standard mortar round. I did not think they were so square or have parallel sides.

Thanks for any advice with this.

BRP in the US has come into some of these parts. You will need a friend in the US to get them, but at least they are available somewhere: http://www.brpguns.com/mortar-parts-lot-070915/
