Which tank is this from?
Can anyone ID the tank that would have used a 6-pdr and a Besa? I assume that this plate is from the Mantlet?

Might be Crusader III. Centaur and Cromwell have a mounting No2, Valentine uses a different one again.
It fits onto the cradle itself, not the mantlet.

Clive,
Its from the weapon mounting that bolts to the inside face of the mantlet. Mike

Do you know which model tank this would be? I don't know the Brit stuff but I suspect that there were not many that mounted a 6-pdr and BESA in the same cradle. C

Valentine Mk X
Churchill Mk III are both possibles. I don't have the manuals for these two to check the Mounting nomenclature, but both had a BESA coax to a 6-pdr main armament. Mike

Valentine Mk X uses a No 4 mounting, I don't have anything on Churchill III to check.
