I have a tray out in the shed, but I'll have to look if its 90mm or 155. Otherwise, they will likely be out in the local scrapyard once the snow melts in a month or two.

Rob, if you find me one, I’ll take it!

Looking at Ed's photo, I think the one I have is for the 90mm. The handles come out further, but I'll confirm.

Rob, sounds good, if not perhaps a hunting trip at the yard once spring hits if you’re up for it.

Here are some shots of the one I have. It may be another pattern to what Ed showed, or it may be for the 90mm.

I know there are more of these at the scrapyard.

I checked some of my copies of the 155 howitzer manuals, and as it turns out the tray I have is for the 155. I guess, over time, there were different variants of the tray. This manual is from 1945.
