Cliff, what are the guards over the cabin on the Blitz for. Too wide for brush guards, not wire cutters so what are they for?

I have seen them before without really noticing them but believe they are a frame to attach canvas to. Other medical vehicles like surgery units were able to 'hide' the whole truck under a canvas tent. If anyone else has an idea as to the frame use I'd like to hear it

Below is an advanced mobile dressing station 'hidden' in it's tent. Photo is from the AWM collection
