The top Picture is from My M3A1 as original
the second is from My friends when I was cleaning it back for repainting.
amazingly the screw hole on the right are both double holes like a mistake has been made and both indicate a self tapping screw was used in them .
It looks like some kind of guard was once in front of the push buttons.
Dont you wish when people took pictures of tanks they would sometimes take good shots of the insides.
