Hi Mike,

That is great! Makes great sense and fully explains it all. I have seen it painted on the right front cowl as per photo but I think it is not original but a later owners handiwork. Originally it was very bright and clear but twenty years out in the weather has taken its toll.

That cowl does not have the brackets for the disk even though it is from an Australian bodied vehicle.

Will look into Ford XY utes in Army service regarding the canvas canopy.

Cheers,
