You have 2 options .. the F8 and C8 used either the glass .. for the GS/personel version , or for the FFW version, a metal cover with turnbuckle clips for the speaking tube canvas thing. My C8 came with the original glass still there, it was a personel version. A screw in surround holds the glass in.

I have the drawing for it somewhere here .. stand by .

They used those turn buckle fasteners to fasten the canvas speaking tube to the cab .. the tube enabled the crew in the rear to communicate with the driver , you shouted down the tube . The idea and the whole concept came from the British 8cwt class . .. Morris Commercials .

The pic tells the story....
