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.

http://oldcmp.net/Images/canvas/bandiaccess-4.jpg
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

And an Australian pattern 6 seat utility:

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.

Hi Ian

From you question it is unclear which style or which country of assembly/manufacture, Make, or year CMP Pattern 11,12,13 you are trying to figure out the windows for. A picture of your frames would help nail all this down.

The responses so far have all been for the Australian style of window. There are also at least three styles of windows for CMPs as built in Canada.

Here is a link to some pictures posted in response to a similar question to me a few years ago http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.com/Posting.html

The picture below is of my 1945 HUP drivers side window though it also fits my 1941 Pattern 13 C60S. If this is the style you are looking for I'll gladly take more pictures of any detail you need.

Cheers Phil

in one of the Convoy Magazines there are detailed plans to repro the little window flaps, which i took from an NOS flap I had..
dont remember which issue exactly, perhaps someone nearby that was a subscriber can pass the issue to you.

Default Search for Information Narrowed

Hi Ian

Now that you have nailed down the search, hope some body can help you with detail information. Do you have the metal trim strips that go on the outside?
I have a couple of outside trim edges that I believe are from Ford side curtains which are about half the width of those on my later Chevy side curtains. Question for MLUrs are the Ford and Chevy Side Curtains interchangeable?

Side comment from long term reader of MLU, because a question has been asked before on MLU should never stop anyone from asking again, because some new piece of information may turn up. Ian's question is a good example doing a detailed search of MLU yielded 77 previous post or threads concerning Side Curtains but only a two partially hit the details I think Ian is looking for, so more detail photos of Side Curtains are in order.

Here are some previous threads on MLU that you might want to:

http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...d.php?p=124268

Keep us posted on your progress.

Cheers Phil

Here is one more. She is fairly complete. When she was donated to us she also came with a trailer full of parts including doors, window frames, seat frames, new rad and much more. I have some more photos on the camera which I will try to post this week.
