Exercise Eskimo
As Rob mentioned, makeshift enclosures were made for the exercise and here is an image of one mounted on a Universal Carrier.

Ford, Canada, 1940 factory test driving image of the early production U.C. MK-I* showing a windscreen installed. Does a part number appear in FUC-02, or possibly FUC-03?
Interesting to observe the rear upper engine cover not installed. British supplied horn and headlamps, consistent with the period. Is there an aperture block of some sort installed in the gunners loophole below the mantlet? Last edited by Michael R.; 23-03-20 at 20:18.

I believe there were some with Aero screens, but cant remember the details.
They were quite small compared to the ones above.

The well known picture of the ambulance carrier that the Kiwis had in Italy had a small wind screen
