For adapting a No 19 set to the mount that Bruce showed in his second photo, you need four shock mounts which each have two lower bolt holes. Two mounts go on each end where you can see bolts in that photo. Tops of each mount have a single hole so four total and the carrier plate for the No 19 set fits there with the wireless having a wide webbing strap to hold it to the carrier plate.
Interesting to see now why some things were done the way they were with the mounts.

That would do...
...but the 'official' way was to remove that base and install one that was made from two channels with flat plates welded to either end. The wireless set fastened to this 'adapter' by four shock mounts with the supply unit on top like this:

Some USA Vehicle Mountings
Shot below is how the No 19 set was sometimes mounted in USA armoured vehicles that used British equipment. Parts of this setup originated in a WWII M4 installation kit. Not sure what other options the Sherman tanks had with earlier wireless sets if they used them.

This is my last visit to the forum until I can get set up at our new residence, so it may be a week or two before I can respond. Thanks, both Bruces, and others.
