Eisenhower is an unknown quantity at this point
OTF,
I believe the guns were broken down and split up between the gunner and assistant gunner. As for how they were attached, I think it was up to the person. There are a lot of accounts of gunners losing their bipod or actual gun because they lost their footbag, but I think it would make sense to strap it to your chest like a regular rifleman would with his garand or something. As for the gun itself, I'm really not sure. I'll look some more.
