P.S. I didn't realise until a couple of weeks ago that the air vents on a 13 cab (Ford or Chev) are different here, as compared to yours in Australia.

It's only the Australian Chevs which are different, and this is one of a host of differences in the Holden-built cabs including such things as floors, windscreen frames and even the frame closing mechanism. The rectangular vent was a standard Holden shape used on many vehicles as were the little diecast locking arms on the lower part of each windscreen frame.
We didn't build round hatches but we did have the magnificent invention of the Sunshine Roof. And you can thank Australian innovation for windscreens which open 90 degrees rather than the 30 degrees of the originals.
