Bruce. Thanks for posting a different link. Not sure why mine didn't work
As for the bin. No I disagree. The two original bins I've seen only had small wood screw holes on the hinge side of the bin. To me this suggests that the upper level was only a half and on the one side. It makes sense also as it would be easier to lift out the rounds by grabbing the side. Hopefully my explanation makes some sense. Sorry Rob, I'm not able to post pictures as my Internet is via my iPhone. No home service.

Nice to see the ME stowage racks as that's what will be going on mine... Spudded tracks too, how very Italy ! not sure they did that to be accurate or just due to shortage of track however its a 43 carrier in a right colour for that theatre of ops :-) to my knowledge first operational use of the spudded track was Nov 43 during Op Avalanche..... Will no doubt be corrected though
 . Thanks for posting them up Jordan

I agree with Jordan on the upper half tray. I had remnants in mine for the bottom, and the remnants of the screws were still in the box. I could not figure out the upper, since as Jordan mentions, the screw holes were only on one side. I think we discussed this several years ago on a thread where we covered a lot of the mk1 carrier mysteries.
I wonder about that stand as well. Could it have something to do with the desert mods? Perhaps they need that extra bit of stowage space for something else? The carriers we dug out of the ground had the boxes directly onto the metal inner fender over the track. The tow hitch is interesting. Could this be the tow hitch kit for the Mk1 that is listed in the parts manual? Has anyone seen this hitch before? I have only seen mk2 style hitch brackets adapted over to the mk1.

I just expanded the photo with the stand and sure enough, the stand would seem to be a stowage bracket for something. Almost looks like for a POW can....it has the same style securing bracket on the front of the bracket towards the gas tank.
