Hello
Does annyone know the use of the two square bowls and the two straps bracket in the midle??

I dont think the bowls are for the food of the passengers, they are not i the line of the seats

Cheers
Sylvain

I would like to know that too, all the time I thought those bowls are for the legs of the middle passengers... I am really curious.
Here a the view from another angle.

You know, if it was for the legs why dont they have make the same bowl in the midle, there is place with the transfert gear.?

...maybe because canadians are too british to make sth. practical? :D

Harlé Sylvain 25-08-16 10:25

On the Morris's and the Guy the loops were for ammo box kind of a ready rack if the crew needed to go into immediate action

The cab 11 FAT....
 
in the Shilo museum has what appears to be orginal canvas cushions sitting in the boxes in the floor.

"Bowl"
 
(Years ago there was a raging debate on the old AFV News Forum called, The Comb'. This question reminds me of that conversation.)

If you look at the height of the seats, you'll see a difference in height. That difference relates to the flat floor in front of some seats, and the bowl in front of others. I think the bowls are simply footwells for the soldiers' feet. Why the designers complicated things with flat and depressed sections is another matter.

No idea why there are straps loops on the floors.

They could hold something placed between the bowls. Maybe the reason why the bowls are so far from each other..? ...another box with something?

This trucks should be equiped with the steel first aid box, is there a place?, Maybe there????

They look about the right size for a large ration tin to fit in.
