John,

For a correctly fitting canvas you would have to go to a professional sail maker, or go to a company like John & Mary Worthing (canvasco.com). They sell standard 15-cwt covers.

Alternatively, buy a 4x4 canvas tarp (I bought mine at legertenten.com) and fit it over the top bows. Buy or borrow a sowing machine and make alterations if needed.

As for paint: I would try to match up the paint already used on your truck, as the restoration is halfway completion. None of the military vehicle dealer in the Netherlands sell accurate Commonwealth paint colours.

HTH,
Hanno
