For demonstration purposes I’m fortunate to have a 25 Pdr Firing Platform to show how the 18 Pdr Platform would have appeared, I assume there were slight differences between the 25 Pdr and the 18 & 4.5” Platforms?
My 18 Pdr shells range from a Mk1 1905, thru ww1, 1920’s, 30’s. to 1942. ( I’m not a shell collector )
Question 3 – added ( 1939 ) to the rear door are two, once leather bound brackets, ~ 34 “ apart and supported something 2 “ wide …. Maybe a Range Scale ?
You might see that I have removed the 3 rivets which once held the rear door Key Pouch, I’m having a go at wet leather molding, ………. cheers
