Most cargo beds of that era were locally made to requirements and the photo is too low res to really get a good look. There is a bar (pipe) that runs down the centre from front to back to hold the canvas then it just folds over the edge of the sides. This is used instead of the more usual tilt bows like on US and British Military trucks to hold the canvas up.
