I came across this picture from back in the day when it was part of the Kruse WW2 Victory Museum - Auburn, IN (defunct since 2012).

Interesting they had it displayed as a 1543 and not 1542.

The confusion between model designations clearly comes from the different models being produced in parallel and not linear as say the CMP production (cab 11 followed by cab 12 followed by cab 13).

I am putting a list together of all changeable items on my 1542 and will post on here, maybe it will be of some use to someone else trying to narrow down an MCP model designation which is missing the cowl plate.
