If it is an M37 but has a small oval rear window, it may be one of the ones that the army retrofitted with the "wrong" hardtop cab. The "proper" M37 hardtop cab has a larger rectangular rear window. Apparently when they shipped a large number of M37s to Korea, they needed arctic kits for them and didn't have enough M37 kits so they made up an adapter and used hardtops off of something else. The adapter kit consists mostly of filler panels a couple inches wide that fit at the bottom sides of the cab just behind the doors. The back of the cab and the top of the windshield frame fit fine without any fillers.
