Gday bob
I have just checked under my SAR carrier and sure enough you can see where the steel for those exhaust deflectors was welded on , when my carrier was pulled up the tilt tray when it was recovered there was a piece of bent steel left on the ground i can only guess that it was one of those deflectors if that is what they are.
I have also just checked the underside of my new hull VR3860 and there is no sign of these attachments ever being welded so it may very well only be common to sar carriers
All the best with your latest aquisition a bloddy good find.
cheers matt
