Early british Army Jeep modifications - July 1942

I am interested in the Early British Jeep modifications - particularly prior to the fiment of Jerricans

 

primarily these relate to:

 

sheet metal and bar stowage (with triangular wooden block on footstep) for 2 gall POW tins on sloping part of front wings - often seen later adapted to take Jerricans

fitment of convoy light on rear crossmember with rotary switch below spare wheel adjacent to existing light (see Farley Book 2 page 55 for shape of bracket)

relocation of front BO lights onto front wings

fitting of rifle clip onto front windscreen apron

fitment of hooks hanging down from rear crossmember - any ideas what for - could they be for fitment of stretcher carrying frame perhaps???

curious addition bolted to spare wheel carrier - any ideas what for?

 

these can be variously seen in Farley Book 1 pages 85,92,93,94. Farley Book2 pages 44,54 with official drawings on page 55

 

All these modifications are covered by Mechanisation Inspection department drawings from July 1942 - in the series C.I.M.(B) 1087/... Does anybody know where I could find copies of these drawings?

 

Any help advice or direction gratefully received

 

thanks
