Thanks Mike
with those sorts of numbers it does seem likely
They must really have been cranking them out by that stage
Would be interesting to see production numbers and models for each production year

Found a couple of interesting blocks bolted in behind the seats of the c8 today
At a guess to hold crank handle and the like
Even more interesting they had traces of green paint on them
Would these be be possibly added in the field

Default rifle butt

Andrew

You probably know this already. The cabs featured wooden blocks at floor level, either side of the cab, to take a rifle butt. I have one or two originals around somewhere, slightly broken, but Ok for patterns. The upper metal clip for the rifle, does vary , there are more than one type I believe. Some have a rubber cushion around the clamp ( early type ), and others have a canvas covered clamp ?
