Carrier stencilling

[David Dunlop]

This will by no means be a complete and definitive work, as not all the photos I obtained from Ford of Canada show all stowage locations, or show them clearly without kit in place. I get a sense from all of them that Ford worked pretty closely with the military to work out where various items could best be stowed and this was likely a continuous process throughout the war, as equipment and needs changed.

The decals are all the same font size. White, Gothic Lettering, 0.50 inches high and 7/16ths of an inch wide. The individual lines of the letters are 0.125 inches thick.

The first decal is for the Bren Tripod. Sorry for the blur but it was at the closest point to the camera which was focused more on the top engine cover items.

The other two decals show the Pouches Decal noticed on two locations. All such pouch stowage bars probably had this decal. The one inside the upper left rear of the vehicle is a bit hard to spot due to the vertical orientation of the camera.

As an aside, I will post a photo from Ford on a separate thread of these pouches.
