Default Some Condenser details

Here's what I've got, based on various photos. Bearing in mind there seems to be some variation with thinner/ taller and shorter/ wider versions. This is the version with the breather tube which doesn't seem to be always fitted. The drawing is for a Chevrolet 1533X2 and is incomplete, missing the mount as I don't have the details yet to be happy enough to draw them. Also there seems to be variation in mounts with some better braced against the body work with an extra bracket, most likely due to the condenser swaying forwards and backwards, especially during cross country driving , causing metal fatigue of the earlier and simpler mount. Hope that helps. No known images of the bottom, I've presumed it was flat and featureless, but not currently 100% about that as I've never seen a photo of the bottom.
First photo shows a Chevy 1533X2 with braced mount, breather tube and flat top
Second is on a Chevy 1311X3 and has a rim around the top.
Third photo shows a Chevy 1533X2 with an earlier simpler mount and a taller thinner can.
Bear in mind we are talking about the LRDG, so nothing is set in stone!
