Thumbs up Ford M-H LP3A 1941 chassis = CMP Ford chassis

Just a question on the chassis of the Aust. LP3A 1941 chassis and it's comparison with the CMP Ford 4X4 Chassis.

Apart from the wheelbase was there much difference in cross-members etc. between the 2 vehicles?

I know the M-H front axle was centred to the LHS whereas the Ford CMP front axle was centred to the RHS but other then this and the fact the transfer case was centred differently are there any other major differences.

I am going to be preparing masters to do a 1/35scale kit of this unique Aussie vehicle and want to get it as accurate (within Reason) as possible. Kit will be probably resin with a few PE details but I still have to follow a few leads on this.

Thanks to Jack Neville who has already supplied a lot of information to me.
