Default Mk1 1942 built Canadian carrier

Quick question regarding the choke cable for the mK1, next to the right hand side of the driver there is a bracket which holds the choke cable between the chocke adjuster and the division plate, about half way along, on my tank hunter carrier, the fixing bolts should go through the hull for the bracket but mine has hull 3/8" rivits in there. Am i correct in thinking maybe early carriers up to the end of 1942 never had this bracket, my mortar carrier 1943 has the bracket.

Also the clutch pedal return spring how long is it unstretched and diameter please.

Also interesting note : most restored carriers i have seen omit the dash panel gasket which is at least 1/4 thick, i have an original gasket if anyone needs dimensions. Also I have pics of original conduit runs with which cable go's were to the dash, mk1 only.

Can anyone supply 3/8" bsf countersunk set screws, which go in the front plate?.
