CMP Curtains

[Wayne Henderson]

I have seen quite a few different styles of front door curtains for 1940's production CMPs.
I have a set of post war NOS curtains (Chev 4 hole) but have been looking for a particular style of WW2 curtain but keep finding all other variants.
Most of the ones I have seen are Chev curtains for 13 "Jungle Cabs" or 13 Cabs.
The curtains are all round bar construction except for the fittings that slot into the door brackets, which are flat bar.
The "Jungle Cab" doors are all flat bar, (so far).
I am yet to find a curtain with the square flap and small window.
I have seen plenty of small windows with triangle flaps.
Is it just me? ( It usually is...)

Mike Kelly drew up some plans from an ex-RAAF one he had. I downloaded them off MLU some time ago and can re-post them here if you need them Wayne. Aside from that I can only recall seeing two other examples.

Thanks for the link Mike.
I've decided to stick with the WW2 era Chev Curtains with the round bar
and triangle flap.
The frames I have are in really good condition and original.
