Back when we were stripping parts and armour off carriers in Northern Ontario, we found several had the covers. Even the half a hull that was in the gravelpit at the edge of town had the cover. I believe one of those covers will be the one Dave has and John copied. Seems to me some or most of the carriers that were buried in the beach near Portage also had them.

John's copies had a small error on them where the cover would bolt to the floor to the right of the driver. It needs to be stepped to go over the small bellcrank plate if I recall. I discussed it with John and he mentioned that the area from the one he copied was a bit rusted there and it was hard to get the exact detail. It was easy to correct.
