Default Round hatches

I've only ever seen evidence of one round roof hatch on a Ford here; that was the first CMP owned by Tony Wheeler and it had been sheeted over.

Normal practice here was both Ford and GM-H fitted local design hatches. The GMH one being similar to the Canadian rectangular design but local Fords had a double skin hatch with radiused corners, very susceptible to rust due to condensation inside. I believe these were made by an outside supplier - smaller versions were also fitted to cab 12 Fords and Dodge T110s.
