I'm not so sure. I recall a reference to a series of open cabs. Something like a 43 cab was the open version of a 13 cab.

Lots of Pattern 12 with no cab top fewer Pattern 13
Did a quick search of the MLU forum it looks like the 43 Cab references all go along with the truck mounted bofors which was I believe on a 3 ton chassis.
There have been lots of period pictures of various CMPs both Ford and Chevy with the cab tops and often the windscreens removed. Closest that I have spotted to some thing that was intentionally built that way are the gun portees which had folding windscreens. Lots of North Africa pictures of various cargo trucks with improvised gun mounts where the windscreen has been removed allow firing forward. Given the basically fragile windscreen posts on pattern 11 and 12 cabs I suspect that the removal of the cab tops was followed by the removal of the windscreen when one of the side posts failed. The design of the Pattern 13 windscreen post is much more substantial. Cheers Phil

 The picture below which comes from Service Publications Factory Photo CD is the cab/vehicle I am talking about, and in fact the model is based on this photo.
