Default CMP Reflectors/Tool Stowage

Were CMP's originally fitted with rear reflectors? I've never seen any in photos but I'd like to put a pair on for safety's sake

What about shovel/axe etc. Were CMP's fitted out with these. If so, where stowed (especially on/in a 1B1 box)?

Default Picture of tool stowage

Terry Creighton in NZ has sent me lovely factory pictures of the F8 long box showing where the pioneer tools were stowed - see attached pic - hope it comes out clearly after scanning. Note the sheet metal on the LHS attached to the tilt hoops. Clip for axe and shovel - and holders for two Lee-Enfields. The extra piece of sheet metal in the roof holds the rifle for the third rear crew member - three seats provided.

I also can just see a rear view mirror inside the cab. Also note that there is only one rear light each side (one brake, one running?) but a double lamp holder each side?

Thanks Terry

I'll put the side view on the next post.
