The catches could have been purchased by the Germans from the USA on the world market. Every item on vehicle does not necessarily have to come from that country which manufactured it.
There is a company or one man band in Devon who supplied me with a starter ring for a Armstrong Siddeley. For the life of me I cannot remember his name but he was very helpful.

I have just been viewing Tank Chats about the Churchill AVRE and the Funnies. On it I saw an AVRE and bridge DESIREE 44ZR91, RODNEY T32425/C towing a Conger and HELMSFORTH an Ark.
I really thought that it had a title or heading to the advert stating GPMG but perhaps not. So Craig, I refer you to the previous sentence that states GPMG.
Christmas! I had better not start on that subject.....
We viewed the Carrier in November 1995 but when we got there it was almost dark, hence the poor pics. It was in front of the gun sheds on top of a prominent hill at Porton Down.
I know this Carrier and have photos of it at Porton Down. I was dealing with Neville Anderson of the Tank Museum with regard to obtaining it but those of you of a certain age will have known Neville so........
Photo shows a .30 cal Ferret mount, a GPMG Ferret mount and a Browning pintle mount. An ideal Christmas present for your lady wife or girl friend at £600 for the lot.
