Here's a pic off ebay with a different kind of mount on a Jeep.
Quote:
VERY SCARCE ORIGINAL SIGNAL CORPS PHOTO SHOWING FREE FRENCH SAS RECON AIRBORNE TROOPS IN THEIR SPECIALLY DESIGNED MB WILLYS or GPW FORD JEEP WITH BREN GUN AND TWIN VICKERS " K " or " VGO" LIGHT MACHINE GUN MOUNT PICTURED AT FLORENVILLE, BELGIUM ( south of Bastogne ) during the Battle of the Bulge by an american signal corps photographer.
THE SIDE OF THE JEEP BEARS THE CROSS OF LORRAINE INSIGNIA AND THE BUMPER IS MARKED " ORADOUR SUR GLANE " : the french town where almost 600 french civilians were murdered by the 2nd SS Division DAS REICH.
Also, but this is difficult to see on my scan, the driver wears a Denison Smock with pegasus badges applied and a captured german map case.
The door of the barn behind the jeep bears two TEXACO oil company enamel advertizing signs
A must have for the collector of french , british and belgian SAS paratrooper related items like denison smock, beret , " Who dares wins " stuff etc
