Default Are these off a Blitz?

Can anyone tell me what these are off and where they would mount?

Thanks!

Think the second bracket is the top Bren gun mount out of a Blitz Cab 13. Too early and not enough timre to go out to the shed and double check,

Default Yep

I agree with Mike,

I have one or two at home and have picked up and passed on several others over the years. There is some suggestion they were also fitted to the 2 Pounder Portees but I'm not certain

Cheers

Phill
