David,
I checked out a few 1B1 boxes and got these pics. The first pic shows the spare tire mounting holes on the cabinet in the wireless version. You can see the marks where the spare wore the paint. Obviously the other versions wouldn't use this setup since they didn't have the cabinets.
The other two pics show a GS version but I don't know where the tire mounted. Both versions had those eight or so holes in the front of the box. I'm not sure what that strap on the footman loop held in place on the GS.
Is that the same rear window as yours? If yours has a rear seat it must be a wireless or personnel version. Does it have the copper grounding straps on all the body panels that the wireless trucks have?
I looked at your pics and yours is the radio truck. Only the radio version had those boxes with the lids on top of the wheel wells.
