Default inspiration for Canadian MLVW SEV blackout curtains

This project may have been the source of the C15TAs built without stowage boxes?
Our good MLU friend Ed Storey and I have shared experience with the 1980s version of this blackout enclosure on MLVW command post trucks. In our case, Mapping and Charting Establishment had standard SEV boxes in the beds of trucks. An interface like this laced around the exterior of the box and had a sort of "apron" that enclosed the clanky ladder and under the tailgate. The other end laced into a section of ordinary modular tent. Great minds think alike, only generations apart.
