On the vertical differential cover that appears in your posted image, the step usually placed on the driver side has a bracket attached underneath to fit the crow bar. While it appears common to rivet the steps to the plate, there is a transition point or modification to use removable fasteners. The step inserts on early carriers are a composite material. See Ben Hawkins Scout carrier restoration as a reference. Eventually all composite or rubber material for rear compartment firing rests, most straps and the rear step inserts changed over to wood, webbing and checker plate.
Nigel Watson published a page listing the major portions of the British manufactured parts that were shipped to Ford Canada. Those parts show on the Canadian government orders as well as British Supply Ministry orders. There are multiple image examples of British supplied parts on early carriers supplied to the Canadian government. Some have been posted here on MLU. For a list of Brit parts, see Watson, Universal Carriers, Volume 1, page 114.
If you examine the parts manual FUC-03 there are guides with respect to the serial number change over for the installation of certain TL parts. For example, the Solex carburetor 40 RZ INP was used to serial # 2039.
