Did these vehicles have any kind of cover to go over the open tops during the winter?
Yes, they had a canvas weather cover that could be placed over the fighting compartment. This was not usually done under combat conditions though. The belowrestored M8 has the weather cover installed.
I can just make it out in the photo. Ive had this pair in the closet for a year or two now and thaught I would build the OOB while waiting on an order to come in for my big project. Any other photos of this out there?
