One note: the side by side cover is for AFV's as you say but the Mk.1 Carrier had the supply unit on top of the sender receiver. The correct cover is a large one that bolts on under the side firing rest and covers the entire set back to the aerial mount. The lower lip serves as a sleeve for the aerial F sections.
I can provide detailed drawings and pics of both and think you could sell a good number of each if they were decent reproductions. The right tan waterproof canvas would be wonderful to find if possible.

Like the same tan waterproof material as used in the British rain capes?
I know Frank Brown over here in UK at Pegasus Drive makes everything from web straps, canvas seats, screens etc, even hand made Dennison Smocks.
He was trying to source the material or get it reproduced for the capes.
