Reply With QuoteHi Rafail,
It is difficult to be sure since the photos are all showing the underside of the base plates but they look like British 3" mortar base plates to me. Perhaps you could post some photos showing the upper surfaces of these base plates?

British Ordnance ML 3 Inch mortar
Hi Rafail,
I now realise that the first base-plate shown is right-side up and this one definitely is a base-plate (don't know which Mark/ model) for the WW2 British Ordnance ML 3 Inch mortar (see attached photo). There were at least 3 different Marks/ models of the base-plate for this mortar. I suspect that the other base-plates shown in your photos are another Mark of the base-plate for this same mortar.
Regards,
Draoich
