That is not a standard cover, but the "door" looks looks a factory made item. It unhooks from the left and pivots to the right. Is it Ford or borrowed from a later vehicle?
 Underneath the cover is the top of the Carburettor/Air Cleaner. The Door doesn't look large enough to remove the lid of the Air Cleaner, maybe to prime the carb with a squirt of fuel on a cold morning, so I don't see what purpose it could be for Do you know if the engine that was beneath this cover was modified in any way?

I seem to recall similar hatches on wartime MB/GPW hoods. I think they were used to access small kerosene heaters which were hung in the engine compartment to keep the engine warm in the winter.

I like Dusonn's suggestion but I can't see why the cover needs to be domed so much when a nearly flat plate would do the job just as well.

Dip stick access cover
The engine cover image in post 5 shows the domed top cover, but also a pressed, deep cover at the dip-stick access, which from memory is normally a flat piece with a foot, the whole pivots sideways to gain access to the dip stick. It is normally secured by a stud with a wing nut. Why the more difficult to manufacture deeper/pressed cover?
So more differences than just the domed access cover on the top of the engine cover. Mike
