Default smoke discharger

Hi Bruce,
The Mk 1 carrier has the smoke discharger mounted on the right outside hull plate that meant to fire it frome safely inside the carrier,they had the remote cable system so as not to expose the soldier.
The Mk II carrier has the discharger mounted inside the hull to the left of the commander/gunner so you could just simply pull the trigger when ready to discharge without exposing yourself.
I used a Ross action for my discharger but does anybody know if they continued using them in the Mk II carriers?
Derk.
