Rain, and cold on a M5A1 Stuart tank. Probably will fit any WW2 tank.

 

Used to have one for a Stuart tank I owned......

Dig it...thanks for the info...guess it is going back under the shelf for another 30 years...cool because the canvas is in good shape and looks like the electrical gear is intact...now...if I can just fit it to my jeep.....

guessing on design... I would say open hatch rain/cold weather hood...still trying to narrow the vehicle it is designed for...Tank driver mentioned the M5 but the front of the cover is curved in the front and oblong towards the rear...the M3/M5 hatches are more linear..

 

the front curve has a channel to attach to the vehicle...which leads me to think this went to another type of vehicle with an oval/circular designed hatch
