M35A3 underhood insulation rivets - size?

[HDN]

I hope yall will excuse a small sidetrack. Were the A3 hoods made differently than the A2 hoods? My A2 hood appears to be one piece of steel, no seam. I don't own an A3 to compare.....yet.

Here are a couple pictures of my truck's hood. I really need to wash it

Ok I can see how they're made now, thanks. It looks like they made it a bit longer also. I never noticed from pictures that they were so different. I like the extra grab handles, too.

I actually didn't realize the M35A2 trucks didn't have those handles! Although the steel hood is kinda heavy it's really easy to lift by standing on the fender and grabbing the side handle to pick up.
