"Bren Carrier Pivot Mount" at last Switzer's Auction. Anyone familiar with this part?

It looks to have undergone some serious moding. Do you have any other photos kev? I'm wondering if they are new made to a M2/Bren pattern, even the head looks seriously modified, the only unmodified parts look to be the feet.

That is alot more indepth then what I did. I never made an adapter to hold the rear of the gun, as the guy never requested it. I made it fit in the existing 1919 pintle.

Its an Indian 1943 design 'based' on the .30 cal M2 tripod.Tubing of legs is from sheet steel and machining reduced to a minimum so as to fulfill lightweigh spec for para use and simple enough for bicycle works manufacture.
Sorry not that not much savy with US tripods, so not much in common with the .30 cal M2 tripod then ?
