Well, I bought the Motley seat off ebay. Now I'll just have to fabricate the Bren mount. I'll go with this one for a single Bren like in the above picture of the one in the 11 Cab. I came across this bit of info on the arrangement of British outfits in 1940. This would be the 15 cwt AAAT trucks. (anti aircraft anti tank) This is the first mention I've found of how many guns they carried and is the same as what I'd assumed. These drawings are dated 1942 and they're converting to the 2 gun MK IV A setup. The one on the sidecar is the most detailed pic I've found of the MK IV. It looks like the single gun MK IV would be right for any late 1940 to 1942 AAAT. I wonder what they used for seating and storage on these trucks.
Anti-aircraft Platoon - the AA Platoon was commanded by a Platoon Sergeant Major, and included four trucks, each fitted with a single Bren gun on a 'Motley' mounting and carrying a Boys anti-tank rifle.

David Hardway, could you post some closeups of that mount from different angles, preferably with a ruler in place to see the dimensions? That's just what I need to go with my Motley seat when it gets here. Could your friend be convinced to part with it?

motley mount
It 's hard to tell from one picture to which mount this parts belongs. More pictures could make it easier.
Cheers, Arjan
