Default "we should make it GS"

This leave the option of replicating an AA gun and locker box should the parts/need arise.

We also have the templates for the rear cab toolbox/locker and spare carrier but sadly we dont have the clam shells. Something we'll be fabricating shortly.
Found these screenshots of wartime or early postwar footage taken near Westkapelle, The Netherlands. I think it shows what you have done: a 20-mm gun platform was converted into some sort of GS body.

I do not have a link to the source footage at hand, but I will try to find it back.
