That’s the one. Chinese copy with the three legged mount, with a traverse race, which seems to be the same mount that they used at times with individual 122mm rocket tubes. Two for the price of one, any old bit of suitably sized tubing would do for the rocket launcher.

The recoilless rifle itself would work for your Indo Chinese French, Viet Minh, ARVN and even your late WW2 US infantry as they first saw service in 1945 in Germany.

Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I support this, along with the French Union, Viet Minh and US late war......So I can use them for late war action and early Korean war...
Maybe a M20 in those ranges as well.  lol
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

In short yes, its already on the list.

It has huge amounts of usage and was pretty common from the end of WW2 to today.  ;)

If it is that time of the year to write letters to Santa, I would like him to know that my Vietnamese village is almost finished and needs to be populated.....

Have your Elves finished the civilians yet?.   :D
I wish I were a glowworm
'cause glowworms 're never glum
How can you be grumpy
When the sun shines out yer bum?

Santa has been at the sherry again. Actually, given the amount of dosh I’ve put the way of his local distributor, he’s probably moved on to aged single malts.  :D

Based on some pictures I found I'd say A.

The answer might depend on which side of the Mexican border you are standing on.  ;)

Never throw anything away I suppose.

Real answer?

I would also plump for A. The raised bits look like the panel end connectors and based on photos and how PSP, the predecessor to aluminium matting worked, they would be ground side.

Presuming this has been installed/restored correctly...
