ID Brackets

[Keith Webb]

As for the first image, Rod's correct, it's a 6 seater utility, in this case the Ford version.

When I asked Mike Cecil, he told me they were LMG brackets, - he's usually correct in these matters.

I've not seen these on any other No 8 or 9 Aust pattern gun tractor as they mounted the LMG and the Bren internally, along with the crew's .303s. In fact the gun tractors fairly bristled with guns; in addition to the 25 pounder (or whatever was being towed) there were 4 .303 rifles, a bren and a SMG.
