Communications hatch on C15A
Hi Richard:
It is not unusual to see the comms hatch on what we now think of as cargo vehicles. In the day, many 'cargo' trucks were actually fitted for wireless and used as Command Posts in tactical units such as a field artillery Troop CP. Thus the folks in the back needed to be able to talk to the driver through the flexible canvas tube that connected the rear to the cab.
Cheers! Mike
