And these are rear, and a couple of others.

Phil can answer any questions, accept any advice or offers of parts.

Good eye Jordan. I had one of these canvas pieces show up with my carrier when I bought it and always thought it was unrelated. I now know better.

Any idea what this holder was for?

i think the small bag was for either an oil bottle or a cleaning cord. the other part may have been another place to hold the bren spare parts bag.

Default Canvas holder

Hi Rob

My understanding is that its an antenna holder (#19 set ) for the MK1 carriers it was mounted in the lid of the rear storage locker.

If Jordan wants I have one, I only live a short distance from him.

Cheers
Adam

Default Bren kit

I feel quite certain that the canvas holder is for the Bren gun oil bottle and spares/tool kit, and this is confirmed by the Bren cleaning rod holder which you can see is also located under the stowage bin lid.

The Mk1 Scout was fitted for the Wireless set No 11, and there appears to have been no special provision made for the stowage of spare antenna or accessories above the carriage of the remote antenna, wireless set remote unit, spare valves case and spare parts case. When this vehicle was built the Wireless set No 19 had not yet come in to general service

This is also confirmed in Nigel Watson's brilliant book. Which I have almost worn out with constant reading !

Cheers

Phill
