Bumper accoutrements

[JohnR2]

I'd be interested to hear what you think may have been bolted to this bumper from the bolt holes?

Id have said that bumper had a whole host of added extras.
The two small ones directly in front of the dumbiron would have been the D shaped towing eyes (same as on the picture of the Scotts LWB youve posted elsewhere)

The two small and one slightly larger ones on each end of the top face look like they could have been for military bumperettes.

The two front and centre of the top face could well have been used to support the front of a capstan winch (fairly important for Antarctic climate, I'd have said)

The two sets of 4 on the front face look like they'd also have been for towing attachments (possibly an A frame). Could even have been something as wild as a snow plough or similar.

Military bumperettes? They were also available as a civilian option

Good to know - I had no idea!
Thanks
