Aust LP2 radio / ammunition covers
I am after any pictures (and hopefully dimensions) of a cover similar to the radio cover installed in some LP Australian BGC.
I have included a section out of the parts manual that shows the radio cover. I have also attached a pic of a BGC that was on Ebay earlier this year, that was located in South Aust, but I believe this was bought by someone in QLD. Has anyone seen this other cover of a more simpler construction? Is this a late wartime production radio cover or perhaps an ammunition cover for a modified mortar carrier? Anyone with another theory on these covers? I think, and am hoping, that this simple construction cover is actually an ammunition cover, it looks right and the side mounting brackets would fit my brackets on my hull. I will have to look at making 2 of these covers sometime in the future. Thanks for any suggestions, pictures or dimensions.

Radio Cover
Hi Darren
There are two covers... I have had both, the difference is the spacing between the lugs that mount the cover.. I actually think that the cover that is in the picture was one of mine that got swapped in a deal... The worst part i\s I did nt realise that they were different and the one I kept is not actually correct for my carrier.. I will try to find it and have it measured up Tim

Are they common with a normal LP2 carrier? I can have a look at the Museum's display carriers?

These covers are common for any Australian BGC that was fitted for/with radios.
While researching and collecting pics I have noticed a variantion- just not sure I am correct in my assumption in first post.
