Chris, in a way all 17pdr equipped tanks were rebuilds in that standard tanks were shipped over from the US and then had the 17pdr fitted over in the UK.
The drivers hatches perhaps should have had periscope guards fitted on my model, but I don't have any left in my spares box at the moment and they're too fiddly to scratchbuild!
The springs, if fitted, would lie flat when closed and stand at an angle when the hatch is open.
