Yes, however, removing the two turret bins was a tedious process, as they mounted on studs with nuts and washers. I think the Canadians et al all left theirs in that original configuration, and continued to lift the covers in sequence by rotating the turret, as per the manual.
Whereas Australia devised a modification that mounted the bins on steel straps attached to the back of each bin, and held to the turret by u shaped pieces - the straps slid into the u shaped pieces that were welded to the turret in place of the studs. The bins could be lifted clear of the turret quickly by a couple of the crew - I think your Cent has that mod, Matt? Makes bin removal and cover-lifting a whole lot simpler.
