That's the only two shots I have of the early pattern Boys mounts. If you're building your carrier to represent Canada during Normandy, you'd need to set up as a 4.2-inch mortar platoon. They were the only unit that landed from what we've researched and they were set up with PIATs for A/T purposes.

Each of the Canadian infantry divisions had one T-16 carrier platoon.

Shots of examples of the Canadian 4.2-inch mortar platoon carriers that were originally sourced from Clive. Nigel's carrier book volume 2 has some additional shots.

"Capital Soldiers" by Reynolds also has some of the technical details of how the carriers were employed at Normandy as it is the history of the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa and they had them.
