Jim, your 8 cwt has the longer 2A1 box so it uses a different style of top hoops. Here's an original setup on one.

And here's the link to the thread with lots of 8 cwt pictures. You'll find a period picture of one with the canvas in place on this thread too. If you aren't pressed for time, I'll get back to the place with that truck in the next month and I can take measurements for you.
