Default Third one

The third of Bob's pics is closest to a WW2 type. The first one is a 1959 pattern Aust Army edition.

This was fitted to a late production RAAF CMP.

Here's a different Aust WW2 pattern with a 1959 one for comparison:

Yet another type on a C15

Default tops

Ian I made the perspex tops for every day use, easy to see out of, the canvas top [No 3 ] is made out of old railway tarp on an old frame for show time. Made a set for both Aussie door styles, takes about 2 hours per top. The perspex frames made from scratch. Made the bag for the tops out of the same tarp.
