Your carrier is indeed an original mortar carrier. Greg took a few liberties with the stowage so it isn't in its full mortar configuration "as it left the factory".
I know little bit of that carrier's history (having known Greg during the time he restored it) but I'll send you a private message with the name and number of an old gent who can fill in all the details. I'll leave it to you what juicy history you want to share with others here.

if you have relevant info/history please let me know. For the other folks who knew Greg I'd appreciate your contribution. I have some documentation/communication but it was from another member Geoff Winnington-Ball who unfortunately has also passed. I think these guys were the pioneers of the UC forum.
If you want a good TV show why not one that takes David B. Gordons books and takes us page by beautiful detailed page of the equipment the weapons of ww2- that would be a good TV series but hey Im not the mainstream
Best regards
