B-set antenna bases

I suspect the no 2 was standard on the 76mm Shermans, much more common in post war Canadian use than ever in British use.

I think so too; the Sherman in the IWM (London) had a No.2 mount on the turret roof (with the remains of a sheared-off Base No.9 still attached).

(Not quite as irritating as the Daimler Armoured Car with the "fabricated from conduit and tinplate" base, mounting and protector. Or Monty's tank that had been reversed under the balcony too far at one point, wrecking the A set aerial base.)
