Bomb thrower
Overhead view of the bomb/smoke projector rounds carrier, mounts under the gunners glacis plate.
I can't remember if it is 6 or 8.

So I am guessing the projectile went into a tube, and the tube into the container under the glacis.
Lance is the basket to the left of the gunner also for 2" mortars or is that for 3" projectiles ? I have just finished my first repro 2" smoke, still need to stencil it though

Excellent thanks guys. Is there a tube carrier for the projectiles ?
And do I need to make a basket like Lance's

Richard, mine does not have the bomb thrower on it, I do have the adapter plate and all the bits minus the cut-down Enfield, the basket I have actually holds the cardboard/Canadian bren boxes and some personal kit, I don't know if it was original to the vehicle or the previous owner added it. I think my bomb thrower will fit on the side armour plate without an issue. Also attached are pics from the previous owner with a modified 2 inch mortar on the wall. He put some rounds in the box for it, but again, don't know if it was 100% correct. You could put in the cardboard 2 inch mortar round carrier I think though, I will have to check the next time I am back in the states.
