Pictures, 10,000 words, you know. . .

The 75mm picture is the best I have that shows how the gun was mounted on
the bustle. "B300866" is an L shaped piece with a socket on it just like
the pedestal on the turret.

More to follow.

P.S.: As you can see, I was wrong about where the .50 cal. barrel comes off
the receiver. It is in FRONT of the perforated section, not behind it. But
hey - you can't believe everything you read on the Internet. . .
