I would be cautious assuming that the Otter and cab 13 CMPs used the same radiator.
My cab 13 has the overflow pipe running from a small dome located in a depression directly in line with the upper hose to the thermostat housing rather than into the filler neck. This isn't a firm indicator since it is completely possible that radiator may have been replaced by a non-original one at some time (although it does have both the overflow tube and the steam tube fittings and has one of the larger type drain cocks at the bottom tank). A quick look at the Otter parts list and the list for all CMPs issued 1942 listed different part numbers for the radiators. I also checked the C60X list since it also uses the 270 engine and again the radiators were different. I'm not sure how different but something was different to justify different part numbers...
