Default Carrier 3" mortar MKI*

Does anyone have any schematics or other pictures of a mortar carrier.

Also does anyone have additional pics or contact of the owner for this carrier in Canada?

This is Bucky the Wonder Carrier. Owned by our very own Charlie Fitton. He is a member on this forum.

So much better when you showcase such a wonderful and infamous machine...

They are really good pics of that variant & layout, where does the tube cleaning brush get stowed and the aiming posts?
I have the Aust Mortar Carrying version, and I would assume we copied that, but I am stumped as to where and how these items were placed?

Thanks

The tube cleaning metal handled brush sits on two brackets under the mortar tube, the aim posts can also be seen in the pic from the rear, behind the gunner in the rear compartment, left hand side.
