Kuno, I didn't think of that. I common thing to reduce glare in the desert apparently was to paint over the windows and throw sand over the wet paint, then wipe a small vision slot. But it could well be this huge sun visor had the same purpose - also see the Dodge D8A/T212 with a sun visor.

Once you know what to look for they pop up everywhere - here's another sun visor/anti-glare air recognition device (?) on a Morris-Commercial PU8 in the Western Desert in late 1941, next to a Matilda of 42nd Battalion, RTR (source: B.T. White, British Tank Markings and Names, p.24).
