Default .30 remote mount parts questions

Good day,

Can anyone put some sort of idea of value or demand on these two components which form part of the mount.

I have a quantity and want to move them along and free up space.

No idea on price... but if any of these parts are required for the 30 cal coax install on the Sherman, then I could well need them! But not sure if they are.

I believe they attach to the British no8 cradle as used on the ferrets, Centurian, the Canadian Lynx (m113 type) and others. I'm guessing it was a way of keeping your head down.

Not the Lynx C&R or M113, cannot speak for the other types.

I knew it wasn't the M113, as they did not use the British cradle. I only put the term M113 there to differentiate between the WW2 lynx and the 60s lynx, which did use the no8 cradle. I'll take your word for it that the Lynx did not use the extension....I had a bit of maintenance time on them but no operating time outside of a few road-tests.
