Hello Kurtis, Steve,
I have some photo's from Polish Staghounds with the commanders hatch opening to the front.
These photo's show no detail on the hinges.
What I think is that the original hinges were used, and these were mounted on the front edge of the hatch.
Therefore, 4 holes had to be drilled in the hatch, or the hinges could be welded on the hatch.
The only thing to do then is weld two blocks with tapped holes on the turret to mount the hinges.
Attached is a top view from an early type Staghound.
Sorry for the quality, the manual has been in a fire in the past.
More to come.
Best regards,
Marco
