Colin,
Unfortunately the only photo I have of the Pucka Mk6A is of the instrument panel, but in the others I am sure there was a rectangular air cleaner, when I mentioned this to the guys who were doing the fabricating, they said that they copied the round one from the Bovington one, but that is a Mk6B .. who knows!
The fuse box, I have one of those on another project and it was less cover, they all appear to go missing. In the end on my current job, I decided to make a cover and formed it in copper sheet and soldered together, it looks the part. Here is a picture of the fuse box and cover from a part book on another vehicle, it was a common used item.
