More questions than answers! If pushed I would go for the flap arrangement purely because there is evidence for it, but I'm not convinced yet.

There is no evidence for any flap, either in a manual or a photo.
The airline fitting on CMP trucks just bolts through the chassis rail with no additional panels or fixtures. The MCP just passes through a hole drilled in the running board.
