Default Speculation about the "Korean War" cab roof

The photo looks to my eyes as if the design was done to eliminate compound curves that would have required a large stamping press. A small run of replacement roofs wouldn't justify making a set of stamping dies. Are there other photos or can someone who's seen the roofs confirm or deny? My memory is that only one of the Australian makers originally made their own cabs with the other using imported parts, could this explain why the Korean War roofs are only reported on Fords?
