The Swiss used two main bow brackets which were connected in the center to support the peak. Plus there was the folding bracket over the front crew compartment.

The shot of the T-16 currently for sale with bows seems to have a set made for a wider truck as they have been modified at the lower ends to fit. Still a decent attempt.

Hey Ray,

Yours is a proper British WWII restoration with added Swiss bows. Much nicer than the typical Swiss carrier that is only repainted and said to be back in British format. Sure there are still a lot of people out there that don't know the difference
