At least the cab mounts will be different. Cabs 11 and 12 bolt down to the top rail of the frame while cab 13 has a mount each side of the frame at the front of the cab and a crossmember at the rear of the cab. Others may have more information to add.

The pedals are definitely different (and the bracket that mounts them to the frame).
I think, but need to check the parts books, that the steering columns can be exchanged between cabs 11, 12 and 13.

I haven't seen that hole before so my guess is that either it was done after military use or might have been done to provide a way for people in the rear body to communicate with the driver.

Neither do I. My bet is a post-war mod.
Also interesting to see that someone installed extra vent doors in the sides of the nose panels.....and L-shaped strengtheners securing the cab rear wall to the floor. I also spot remains of non-standard dash gauges in the gauge cluster and the obvious bars keeping the roof attached to the rest of the cab while driving at speed!
Interesting find Mariano!
