Looks to me like item #1 in the photo is the side of the top bow for the canvas superstructure.

Good eye Derk. Now that you have pointed that out it is very obvious. That knot of canvas or whatever at the curve was what was throwing me off.
Thanks Barry

The most heavily accessorized C15TA I know of, is Aristocrat. Plenty of inspiration for you, Barry - and now there is a reason for you to buy a PIAT  C15TA Aristocrat.jpeg Source: https://www.silverhawkauthor.com/pos...armoured-truck

Hanno, I think Aristocrat was one of the hardest working trucks in the war. I did once have a minto PIAT complete with the box and extras but unfortunately I sold it.
 I would love to have it back. A few years ago a guy on HMFV was building one but I don't think the thread was ever completed. I think he was in Poland. Aristocrat has quite a few extras, some of which are:#1-ammo boxes on windshield covers, #2- Gerry cans on fenders, #3 blanket bags on fenders, #4 ammo can on fender and I still can't figure out exactly how it is mounted, #5-PIAT, #6-roll of canvas, possibly a tent,- #7 tow rope wound around headlamp, #8- lantern. Cheers Barry

I wonder if this was a Road Move the Regiment had to do on short notice and they could not wait for their usual transport to help get everything from Point A to Point B in the allotted time available?

I believe the ammunition box #4 is being held in position from a web strap slung through the boxes metal handles.
Here are the rest of the series of pictures taken of Aristocrat. Army Numerical Album # 84
