I think I have a Chevrolet one, will dig it out and take pictures and measurements (it will take a while though).

There is an NOS battery cover in my swap meet material for the OMVA Winter Show in Acton, Ontario (March 8). ... Brian

There may be more differences than just Ford/Chev.
I've seen some 13 cab Chev driver side step / running board set up for battery with the long axis transverse to the truck and others set up with the long axis along the vehicle. My impression is that the longitudinal mount may be too tight in spacing on C15A due to the fuel tank mounting location although I don't have document or photo proof to support this.

Brian, sent you a PM on the cover

Grant, Good point. However I know on my truck the metal plate that the battery tray sits on was drilled for both ways. I couldn't figure out what the second set of holes were for then realized they lined up for a tray sitting parallel or perpendicular to the frame.

So here's my example, reportedly off a Chevrolet. Is it Chevrolet? Or Ford? Or both? Who can enlighten me?

I can take measurements if anyone wants them.

The lower part is at least similar to the remains I have found on Chevrolets.
I don't have a top so all dimensions will be useful as I will probably have to make one.

From the manual on How to reassemble a Ford F15:

Spot the battery box and cover!

Hanno, you can tell it's a Chev one by the really rough workmanship

I see that Hanno's has a two rivet hold down bolt, and Keith's has a shorter, fatter three rivet hold down bolt.

[Jordan Baker]

Hanno, any chance you can post up some detail shots of the knobs on the cover? Maybe some measurements.
