Here are a few more photos showing a few more details and differences:-
Photo no. 6: shows an alternate mount for the "A" set ariel on the front of the right hand sponson. I have seen this style on M3A1 Stuarts and located the ariel close to the where the 19 sets ATU was located. However it also also put the ariel in harms way of the 37mm barrel when the turret was traversed to the right hand side. Photo no. 7: shows the original position of the "B" set ariel mount prior to being relocated. Photo no. 8: shows the "A" set mount (in blue) and a different orientation of "B" set ariel mount (in red). Photo no. 9: shows the "A" set mount and some of the tabs for the condute for the ariel feeder. Of interest is you can see more clearly how the mount has been made from the original US ariel mount.

Also forgot to say that as a general rule the ariel mount on the rear of the turret was not used due to the fact that with the radio set located in the right hand sponson the crew would be tangeled up in the feeder wire as the turret was traversed. This was more so the case with M3 and M3 Hybrids with out turret baskets.
However I am not sure if the M3A1 had catered for this in its turret basket slip ring. The M3A3 and M5A1 however had their radio set in the turret bussel. so this was not an issue. Phil...

I'm looking for the arial setup for the M5 and a good friend from Ottawa sent me the info. The one with the cone shaped mount went on the antenna bracket on the rear of the turret and the other antenna went just ahead and to the left hand side infront of the gunners hatch. it was to the left of the grab handle on the turret roof just behind the periscope guard. I do thank all for their posts.... Harold
