POW carrier
I traded away my spare 1A2 and loaded it on a semi heading to Ontario. Before letting it go I had to remove the POW carrier. The early 1A2s had one taillight with the POW carrier on the opposite back corner. If you were loading up for a mission in North Africa how would you decide whether to take petrol, oil, or water? The later 1A2s had two taillights so wouldn't have a POW holder. I guess you'd find a few empty spaces to hold a few extra cans.
The spare box had all the radio mounting holes but just holes to mount two seats. (my good one uses three seats) The POW carrier didn't look big enough to hold one of the cans so I checked the fit. Looks can be deceiving since the can fits.
In the pics the carrier is sitting on my 2B1s fender.
