Default CMP Canvas

Hi

I'd like to know if there are patterns existing, at all, for the canvas tarps on the CMP decks/tilts. I have been asked by somebody who is a canvas worker (not an upholster) if the pattens exist. My first reaction was to start looking at photos of the F60 and C60 3 ton models, assuming that all the canvas tarps were essencially the same, and well clearly they are not. Some seem to have front sheet (for want of a better word), that is shaped to fit the front shape and then the larger canvas tarp over the top, with I assume a similarly shaped rear sheet, which has a split approximately three quartes of the way up the centre. The tarp top has a rope cord along the front edge pulling it down over the front sheet. However looking at other photos shows a F60 or C60 with the front sheet coming around and over the top of the tarp top at the front. And yet another photo showing a rear of a truck (can't definitively say it was a CMP) with the tarp being just folded over on the corners and having an envelop type style (or hospital corners if it was a bed!), so I'm a bit confused. Was there a 'standard' design or does the 'standard' design change i.e from Cab No. 11 to Cab No.13 style etc.
