Hi Jordan

The fittings in the BLUE circle are most logically original, link is to detail photos of hatch on my 45 HUP. http://canadianmilitarypattern.com/H...f%20Detail.htm

The little bent angles are keep rain being driven up along the roof and under the back edge of the canvas.

The holes in the center area of the roof RED circle are not anything that I have seen, if is located on the center line of the vehicle the I would suspect being the mounting for a light installed post war.

Cheers Phil

PS Fixed Photos so they are actually post to MLU not linked I think

The Weld with surface rust as from fixing a fatigue crack, should have drilled the end of the crack and then opened the crack up before welding.

Thanks for the picture. It helps me figure out what is missing.

Phil, thanks for the link.

Would it be possible to get some measurements on the angle iron rain guards? Also I the curved strip with the 4 hole, does it follow the same radius as the hip ring?

The little rain diverters are light gage sheet metal.

Thanks.

What are the dimensions of the rain diverters? I can make them easily enough.
