Eric, where the driver sits, on his left side is a tin cover that runs between the two seats. This cover has some kind of fitting at the front. There should be a gear lever just there as well.
Carriers were kitted out to suit many different roles. The Mortar carrier had a clear flat deck at the rear on which was carried the 3" Mortar. There was no battery box in the middle, over the deck. The POL box which was usually fitted to the battery box was fitted at the left hand side on a mortar carrier.
