Bren guns, anyone?

Hi there

I notice each of the guns in the row on the floor has a spare barrel placed beside it.

When these guns were issued, was a spare included?

If so, was it always kept as a 'spare' or were the two barrels rotated ?

Since the pic shows spare barrels with the guns, and the Chests in the background (each of which was designed to contain a spare barrel) I strongly suggest that the Chests, guns, spare barrels plus other accoutrements were assembled complete for consignment.
