US Navy TT-49/UG and TT-50/UG are Model 15's modified for shipboard
service "with aluminum side frames, a new carriage return assembly,
and lighter weight carriage parts. As a result of these modifications
they operate satisfactorily while tilted as much as 45 degrees."

I guess the carriage needs to be light in order to return "up hill" if a wave is causing the ship to lean. The cabinet is much tighter fitting than the standard WU Mailbox. The table slides out so maintenance on the mechanism is possible.
