Default MKI and MKII* Ration boxes

Hi Guys

Can anyone tell me the difference between the MKI and MKII* carrier ration boxes.

Is there any other than where they were mounted. The parts manual shows different part numbers. But are they different? And if so, how?

Cheers
Adame

HI Adam

Can't say for sure but I think the ones mounted in the MK2 UC's had an extra strip of steel added to the lid. I would think this was for re-inforcement as the bin was moved to under the front gunner's seat.

Default Thanks Jordan

I was looking through the parts book and figured there had to be a difference but could see anything from any pictures I could find.

Cheers

The O.P. carrier has two ration boxes, one on top of the other.
I wonder if they changed one, so that they would stack, and stay there.
