Two square steel trays fit on the 2 x 4 's in that corner, Robert. Each tray holds two batteries. The front and rear edges of the tray have a bracket in the middle that takes a steel rod that is part of the hold down assembly for the batteries so they don't go crashing about when the vehicle is in motion. An upper hold down fits over the steel rods and is secured in place. There are stampings on the bottom of the tray to allow spilled acid to flow away from the bottom of the battery boxes. The tray I have seen were painted with a thin black tar like substance to reduce corrosion.

A fifth battery, called a Grant Battery, fits on the floor, dead centre on the front wall. below the Wireless Table.
