i have that book too, but the ones you want are the carrier books vol1 and vol2 written by Nigel Watson, he has his own website and can deliver worldwide.
vol 1 is pretty much the intro of the carrier concept vol2 is later Mk carriers but has lots on the Mk2. yes the half round things on the deck is what i refer to, one is solid as you have it and one is mesh, the one that is mesh is on the drivers side, the otherone was left solid (on Mk1's anyway) because the cam net / tarp and bag rested on top of it. will post up reference shots from the mannual 2 secs. Ok these refernce shots are from the carrier ops instructions book UC-F1 and are for Mk1 but it may assist you.

not sure what Mk you decided on in the end, but as the top armour does not yet have the round bar on the tops, you could make it a Mk1 which has had the later mods (like the wheel bracket on the front plate
 there is a picture in the carrier book you have of a pair outside a workshop in england being upgraded "before" and "after"here is a reference shot of the no19 radio set.

no problem this is the escence of a good forum
 mind these images came from an issued service book, if you think they are good they are the tip of the iceberg in comparison to what is in Nigels books.http://www.universalcarrierbook.co.uk/ Nigel always makes time for me when i email him and his books are second to none ! if you go onto my Mk1 restoration thread Kevin powles has put some excelent reference photo's on there, the one he has photo'd is a Mk1 setup for desert config (extra holders for water cans on the back) it has a Mk2 speedometer on. but shows some close-ups of the back end.

Update:
After getting the info from Richard I have re-done the covers on the rear deck of my carrier. Here are the pics. As for the box on the back I have seen so many different sizes and shapes hard to choose which one to go with
