Hi Chris
This TM extract (from Jim Lewis website) shows the M48A3 TI phone box :

You can see it fitted to the rear right fender on the picture below :


Here are two other pics showing it fitted to a M48A2C (from svsm.org) :

Hi,
I shot this one on a Lebanese M48A5. Maybe it is of a newer type than the one you're looking for. Anyway here is the picture



I have other pictures of the box in my site if you're interested.

Salut Olivier
I believe this one is a later, M60-style box (like the one fitted to the USMC M48 in the picture below), but the stuff inside should be OK

Hey Chris nice work but judging from photos shouldn't the phone box be the other fender?

Hi Chris
Here's the only clear picture I've found (and it's reversed ):


Those in the Army TM for it I've found are much too dark to be useful...Here are 2 drawings from this TM :





Anyway I can send it to you if need be....
