Muzle cover
Best for the New Year to Forum members. Following on from the above and Dave's comments, the included image is the canvas muzzle cover for the 40mm Bofors. There is no reflector on the end and it was used in conjunction with a canvas "Platform Cover" which went over the breech housing etc with a rope tie through eyelets in its lower section. The same style of buckle that Mike C commented on is also used on the muzzle cover. There is a Mark 2 style listed in the Accessories Pages which covered the barrel completely and the front of the breech housing. Rod
