Don

When you say "mid war" I guess this this means you have moved the available date for the LR version forward. In SP it's currently available from Jan 44, which does seem a bit tardy. But then the MoD have been known to drag their feet.

I read that the barrel/base plate was upgraded by 1942, but I couldn't find a firm source.

You may want to check the available date for the 4.2 inch mortar (unit 82). In SP it's currently available from June 41, but I read it was first used at El Alamein (July 1942); though I guess it could have been delivered a little earlier.
