I think I know where you might be going with this. Vickers? Perhaps there was a Vickers mount apart from a Boys one?
If it is Boys the fitting to adapt to this bracket must be strange. There isn't anything on a Boys rifle at that point except the trunion blocks and I can't see them having the crew undo two little taper screws to install a special bracket, especially since most things carrier were designed to be dismounted for regular ground use. That, plus the pics show the monopod folded in it's horizontal position which would support a 'quick release' something.
