Default Tilting Windscreens

Hello All,

Instead of starting a new thread and to avoid hijacking Chris's Lend Lease Chevrolet 1.5 thread I will post some photographs of Australian Army Trucks with one piece top pivoting hinged windscreens.

I am not sure from the angle the attached photograph taken from the Australian War Memorial's Collection - however it looks like a CMP with a one piece windscreen. Comments welcome it could be the two split screens are just both open at the same time?

Kind Regards
Lionel
