The Chev Portee had a false floor which was raised off the cab floor by about 4 1/2inches. The driver's side had a standard CMP seat centred behind the wheel, and the LH side had a wide bench seat that ran from the outer side of the cab to the inner edge of the raised floor. Some Portee's have no rear seat cushion for the passenger, some have. The angle iron frame for the side and back of the cab is folded down around the LH bench seat, presumably so as to not dig into the back where no rear seat cushion was provided.
The battery box was on the RH (driver's) step.
The engine cover is probably different from the Tamiya kit because that represents a Ford cab 12 with a different shaped engine, although there some detail errors in the Tamiya kit.
