Not all cab 13s had roof hatches. I have a 1945 C60 cab with no hole in the roof.
On that other thread Hanno pointed out, the 2A1 and 2B1 bodies had the holes in the box for the division boards. The Motley seats also used those hokes to bolt them in place.

The last parts truck also resulted in acquiring a square hatch.
 Is this number researchable?

HowzU gonna.....
...fit that square hatch in the round hole...?
...and that last time I saw that number.... the guy was doing 10 to 20 in Kingston. On a more serious note...... the inside rib reinforcement for the roof should be different for the round hole than the square hatch. You may be able to salvage some of the ribbing inside the back wall of the cab to repro the inside of the roof reinforcement. Should keep your Dad busy for a while. Bob C

Another (better) parts truck has been acquired. In fact this one is likely going to be the base for the restoration.

If I understand this correctly, there should be data plates on the vehicles?

Looks like you new parts truck is pretty good for a restoration!
It apears that the bttom of the cab sheet metal is toast like most are. On my cab 12 Ford, I stripped off the sheet metal skin and had the bracing and angle iron framewoork sandbasted clean. I reskinned with 18g which was very simple and plug welded through the bracing and framework. Turned out great. A lot easier than piecing in metal and bodywork. The upper cab part presents more of a challenge if the seam is rotted out but it can be fabricated as well. I did one roof where I removed the rear skin where it was spot weld to the top and made a new skin up. The tricky part was the flanged joint where upper and lower cab section meet. A handy guy with a sheet metal brake can do it...
