I didn't make any headway on this old query at the time of posting, however while browsing ebay last night I found an auction for a copy of the 1942 Driver's Handbook for the Humber LRC III. The preview photos include the stowage diagram that I was asking about, and while it's not totally readable I was able to fill in the missing items from my list. In case it's of any use this is the revised list.

1. Triplex blocks (total 4)
2. Container, ballastite cartridge (1 tin)
4. Fire extinguisher
5. Box, magazine Boys rifle (total 3 boxes)
6. Tools and cleaning outfit for Boys rifle
7. Rifle (total 2)
8. Bren magazines (total 4)
9. Bren 100-round drum magazines (total 4)
10. Bren gun magazine box (total 2)
11. Spare barrel for Bren
12. Cleaning rod, Bren gun
13. Bren spares wallet
14. Anti-gas suit (1) and capes and gloves (3)
15. Bren gun
16. Bipod, Bren gun
17. Boys anti-tank rifle
18. Bipod, Boys
19. Breech cover, Boys rifle
20. Map case
21. Driver's handbook
22. Log book
23. Smoke generators and muzzle covers
24. Smoke discharger
