Early military cabs came with civilian instrument panels and crank out windshield regulators.
The most obvious identifiers of civilian cabs were (1) the presence of a hole in the cab behind the driver's door for the fuel filler that was not in a military cab, and (2) the angle of the cab front above the firewall where the civilian hood rested. It was level on civilian cabs and had a slight down slope to match the angle of the military hood.
In some early production, the hole for the filler (See #1 above) had a fitted rubber piece to close off that hole.
The military cab had threaded holes in indentations for the mounting tabs on the metal screen that protected the cab's rear window.
