No, at least not built to use duals - they would have had to remove the rear mudguards to make them fit! The only CMPs which used them as far as I can see was the Australian medium wheelbase tipper, and the post-war Metropolitan wrecker, although some No6 Bofors tractors were modified in the field. Incidentally at least some if not all the Metropolitan wreckers were built using surplus No6 Bofors tractor chassis, but I digress.
Keith that's brilliant thanks for your knowledge and photos. Now to work!! See you next year!! Happy Hoggers and may you all have a white Christmas even in the places where everything is upside down!!

You're one of the few who know the correct technical term for them! They are clips for a Bren LMG.
