Default Carriers with chore horse

Friend of mine (R.I.P )was a Lt with the North Novas told me they mounted the Chore horse on the rear fender to get them out of the Carrier.

The Armoured O.P. Mk. IIIw had the Chorehorse stowed on the left rear corner.
(mounted in a carry frame) I'm not sure if they were used in that location? I assumed the were put on the ground to use them? No idea really.

We were still using those chorehorses when I was in the militia back in the late 70s/early 80s. You dismounted the chorehorse and buried the exhaust pipe. It was so quiet you could hear the bearings. Some would dig a square hole and put the chorehorse in, but often that would lead to overheating of the chorehorse.
