Morning Hanno:
I think we may on the same page here but in different books.
My understanding of the whole situation is that based on the photographic evidence we have all commented on here, the windshield canvas kit was very widely used on the whole gamut of German vehicles. Therefore, they would have been inclined to not only use the feature on their own vehicles so equipped but to also try to rig up the same thing on non standard or captured vehicles such as your Wagon. In my opinion, the apparatus seen on the wagon was "home built" probably out of whatever materiels may have been available at the time.
Your Jeep photo was most interesting as I do not recall ever seeing a canvas windshield cover for a US vehicle. May be there, I just don't remember seeing one. Nor, for that matter, do I remember seeing any British or Commonwealth vehicles that had fold down windscreens equipped with a cover before.
I will certainly be on the lookout when I am looking over pics in the future.
Bill
OOPS: missed the lens cover remark. That was my thought exactly too.
