Mountain Howitzer questions

[Cannonman1]

On a Mountain Howitzer with a Prairie Carriage, is the sponge bucket hung underneath the carriage as you would find on a #1 carriage.. Also is the image below accurate for placement of implements?? Is there a source for the hinged trail spike ??

The 1862 Ordnance Manual says that the water bucket for the prairie carriage setup for the mountain howitzer should be on the limber.
