Hi,

As far as I know only 2 x Zusatskasten E were used on Jersey with both being installed in the Early Type 633 at Stp. Corbiere. Thanks to JTG, I have the example shown above :D but today I found the 2nd one and it is in mint condition! 8O :thumbsup:

Assuming that there were no others on Jersey (no mounting points for others have been seen!) then the 1st one I got is from the M19's ammunition room as it has the magnolia wall paint on the back of it, while the complete one does not have any over-paint on it so it would be from the standby room where it was mounted on stained wood.

It really is a beauty and even has the wiring diagram plate on the inside 8-)

Enjoy!

Regards,
Malcolm :milwink:
