Relax Frankie!! Your vehicle is late production (ie. 1944-45) which includes certain features:

1. FORD CANADA front shell
2. Military dashboard (ie. round gauges)
3. Late type bumper (includes provision for late type front fairleads as shown below)
4. various cab improvements (eg. windscreen demister slots)
5. sling hubs front & rear

Just to clarify early/late bumper difference:

Cab 13 early-late production bumper.jpg


Example showing front mounted spring bumper. These appeared in mid-late '45 production.

...and here's a late production FAT depicted in drivers handbook showing late type fairleads, rear-mounted spring bumper, scotch hooks fitted. This is how Czech examples would have been configured.
