Sorry, I'm still not with you. Are we looking at different things here? I can understand why Paul's eyes were instantly drawn to the Kfz 15 on the right, it's the same sort of preoccupation causing me to look at the Ford Woodie

But I can't figure out how one can tell the sun visor on the Ford was fabricated (because that is what must have happened) from a standard issue folding windscreen canvas cover - it could have been fabricated from any piece of canvas. And who says it was not fitted by it's previous owner, the same careful one who went through the trouble of fitting a folding penthouse to the side of the roof?

BTW, has anyone noticed those helmets on the Kfz 15? "Standard issue lens covers"?!?
