Thanks, Max.
That would explain why we have examples of C8 and c15 cab 11/12s, but very few early Fords apart from the F60L cab 12s.
The exceptions would be things like cab 11 F60L and the occasional cab 12 gun tractor, all of which are extremely scarce.
As for roof hatches, any Chev cab 12s with them might have had roof swaps, or retrofits.
