Does anyone have any good image references for the M3 Stuart without turret basket?

Current working on Academys "Honey" kit which I understand should not have the turret basket.

I have found enough images of the hull interior to be able to fix up some of that.
All the turret images I can find only show the interior with the turret basket, and I can't find any details of what the interior of the turret should look like without it, and I would like to add a bit more detail than what is present in the kit.

You probably know this drawing already :



but the TM it comes from may be of help as well :

TM 9-726







Interesting video (unless you're susceptible to seasickness...) :

Hi;

Try and Source Osprey's Book on the British lite tanks on the Western Desert. And I think they have one specific on the Honey !

GOOD LUCK; MIKE.

I had not seen that last pic looking up into the turret, and it doesn't look like there is a lot there at all, at least on the back wall.
