When you fire the two pounder there is an auto eject for the spent case which literally flys out the back, you would need to protect the petrol tanks from a smouldering hot brass case, it’s essentially a gun deck, from the photos I have and lack of cut outs in the angle iron both sides indicate lift out steel plates were used, foldered at each end to provide rigidity. Extra bolt is to provide full complete coverage of the petrol tanks, luckily I had an original angle iron plate and good photos of the one at the Canadian war museum.
