The C1 MG mount for the M38A1 and Lynx recce vehicles had a clumsy side arm to hold up the ammo can. As I recall, the plate fit on the left side, as in the photo, with one end bolted through the main 'elevation' screw holes and the other end at the through the 'pintle traversing and elevation mechanism' holes. I forget how the can attached, but I do remember it wasn't much good. Most of the time, we hardened Militia light armoured recce types sat the ammo can on the floor, on the folded windshield, and hand held the belt.
