What's the nomenclature for the antenna mount on the side of the radio jeeps? The one that's mounted at an angle, just behind the driver. Is it a box that fits over an MP-50? My Jan '43 MB has holes for the antenna mount at that angle. Other holes, including one in the dash for a gauge, suggest it was a radio jeep. (Though I don't know what radio equipment would have been in it).

These classic photos have good stories behind them.
