Not that I want to get into an arguement, but I don't agree with your assessment. I have studied 1000's of photos of White Scout cars over the years. I have had my own since 1986 and have travelled more than 100,000km. in 25 years in it. I have been the main restorer in the restoration of 3 others. There is no way that the roofline can be seen as raised up if it hasn't been. The original canvas runs parallel to the underside of the body after it raises up only about 3 inches to the first hoodbow. That canvas looks to be up about 12 inches in that photo. This would be done to give more headroom for the chaps sitting at the desk in the back. regards Rick.

You dont get it wrong very often, I know.
 Is the armour plate is too thin for you?

You would figure that the picture was taken from a step ladder.

Or maybe from the top of another vehicle?

As Lynn says, its probably from the guy standing on top of all the kit in the next carrier who has taken the photo. i love all the detail in these photos, i have one of a Daimler Armoured Car an old crewman gave me of his vehicle and it is just so jam packed with day to day detail, i have studied it for hours - there is so much to learn from such items.

Blimey..... it was just a thought! As it still has the standard canvas, the lower edge would presumably not reach the hull side top edge if it were raised up 9" or so, that was my idea.
I'm certainly not looking for an argument, just a friendly discussion!
