Nope, definately cab 13. Thats what I cut them both from.

I suspect the smaller one is for either BREN LMG or possibly Lee Enfield no. 5. The clip itself is too small for the Lee Enfield no 1, which is the most common weapon carried by aussie 'diggers'. If I had thought to do so, I could have test fitted my LE no5. before I cut the clip off the old cab frame. Probably best I didn't, all the rust would have scratched the barrel.
