Turret Bubble option
Some of the older Fire Unimogs had a Turret hole in Hardcab like the FMTV family as well. But with a plastic bubble* then again also smaller. From what I read it was to help co-pilot see above the smoke.

Might be an novel idea for Expo camper builds or various other reasons. I'de say two. Second one painted and removable that sits above the clear one..... sorta a cap to protect the clear one when not in use. These days it might not be that hard to find in Lexan cause they are so common on playground equipment.

* Sorry tried real hard but can't find a pic of a "real" 404 Firemog that had the bubble. Will keep looking
