A quick look at Steve’s photos seems to indicate the rear benches were replaced by sheet-metal shelves supported by cantilevers from the outboard side, and with a little ledge along the inboard side. And then, like you say, just stow whatever will be needed on those. Which makes the modeller’s job a lot easierDifferences would imply stock by mission. Thanks.
If you can put up with the over the top Bruce Crompton, there's an episode of "Combat Dealers" in which they restore a Pioneer version,that might help?!
