Canvas doors

[Matt Austin]

G'day folks,

If I may stumble in here; I wonder if the rationale for CMP canvas doors is the same with my International K5, as pictured? I wonder if I'm safe to assume that it fell into the category of "15cwt and 3 ton WD vehicles when undergoing 4th Echelon repairs"? I know that in other areas of military history, one should never assume, and I guess the same is true with these vehicles?!

Mine also has a canvas roof, and I haven't been able to find any information about the use thereof.

Cheers,
Matt

They were a tropical mod so they could be removed for better ventilation so that wouldn't apply to the Inter. The canvas 'Sunshine' roof is also on many 15cwt CMPs, as Mike C has mentioned previously.
