I see them on the 110 bonnet. But really, having them there like that by rights would earn you some well deserved verbal assault from those with hooks on their sleeves.

Well, well.
I think he wouldna got on too well nowadays. Maybe he's had them hooks snipped off a couple of times and then maybe he earned them back by now.

I would expect there was a 'discussion'after the PR type said  "put you gun up there mate, it looks more action!"
I'd wager some pips stepped in and made it a command.....
