Terry,
FWIW, the expanded metal grill was different sizes on all three of the 151's i've had. The Calgary and Petawawa Jeeps had a finer grid, while the Gagetown one looked like the sort of thing you'd weld to the treadway of metal stairs etc. The one at the Gagetown Museum is also the same.
As far as the dimensions, my 151 is in storage now, but the guard itself fit perfectly between the two headlight buckets with approx 2" (for the winter cover turn buttons) left between the top of the guard and the hood, and the same thing bottom.
