Possible but would ammunition be kept in the cab? Safety concerns?
If not, than why did they carry 25 pounder shells in the same area in the rear body? With 6 enfields stored it could be a possibility. I bought one style and have it sitting in that spot.

Need an old arty guy that still remembers what it was used for! I have asked several, no ideas.

I found a "walk around" pictures of a quite luxurious CGT.

The .303 ammo box seems to fit a little bit better to the brackets than the P60 (I have allready bought 3 of them. Hope they fit to the doors above the rear wheels :) )

Hello
Interesting this picture ,it's true that 303 munitions box with 6 enfield on board it can be logic.

Where the fat an CGT trucks equiped with radios as on the picture?

The p60 box fit the brackets in my cab 12 like a glove, but must try an 303 box

Ammunition Box

The H51 Wooden Insert boxes were not manufactured until 1945, so be cautious of 'walk around' photographs showing lots of luxurious stuff attached to a restored vehicle.

Thank you, Ed.
I am cautious, that's why I am asking here.
I will try my P60 boxes ASAP.

What about the radio in this one? IS this instalation probable?

It's certainly not a 'factory' installation but here's a WW2 photo with something similar. The cap badge is neither signals or artillery. Armoured Corps?
