The India Pattern used a locally made box while the one in the pix I posted is Canadian made. This looks identical to the LRDG truck. There aren't any interior pix on the CD.
Check out this thread for the CD. I highly recommend it: http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9101
The surviving LRDG truck has had the windshield removed. It pivots on those two bolts at the top of the short posts. The posts weren't chopped, they were made like that. On some of the LRDG pix the windshield is in place.
These pix are from the IWM site.

Here's some more LRDG pix from the IWM site. It looks like they were fond of the Lewis guns. Note in the above pix how they removed a bunch of the grille bars for better air flow. Also note that the surviving LRDG truck has horizontal grille bars while all the others have vertical bars. I think that's a 1939 to 1940 change.
