Hello all:
Can anyone suggest what the bracketry on my roof might be for? The vehicle is ex-225 Medical Regiment and I think the roof is original because it has holes for the radio aerial cables that line up the ones in the bodywork.

the ones on the top of the roof are lashing cleats for storing camo net etc.
the ones on the rear roof are for pioneer tools pick axe handle to be specific, although you are missing the little L support brackets

Thanks apeers, very helpful. I'll look into getting a set of the pioneer tools, they always finish a vehicle off nicely.
I had a set on my 101 years ago, including the woefully optimistic starting handle.
