Shots attached of the original Boys A/T rifle mounts which were only included on very early production vehicles. Don't know if any of them ever went to the UK or not since the British had changed over to the PIAT by the time the T-16 started shipping. The Boys mounts shown are the same as you'll see in the wartime manuals for the gunner's "ready" position. There would have also been a pair of mounts over the engine compartment for transit purposes.
