sights
Thanks all, now I have an understanding of what & when with the various mortar items.
I think it would be quite hard to find the correct early baseplate, then the cost would possibly make me cry. Reading the trg pams, I think there are 2 aiming posts with each mortar. Posting some pics of sights that I have found on Ebay for interest.

aiming post
another pic showing the aiming posts and tube cleaning rod.
This is Colin's Mortar Carrier that appeared at Corowa some years ago. What colour are the aiming posts painted? Do others have pics out there to add to the variety of equipment used with the mortar? nationality does not matter, but would be good to highlight the differences.

Hi Darrin, one is obviously black and white and the other is very fire engine red and white. They are both originals, great job on the carrier by the way.

Thanks Colin for the confirmation of the post's colour. I wasn't sure if they were original or had been touched up.
How are your projects going?
