A2 complete rear panel or patch panel?

Unread post by lpcoating » February 29th, 2016, 6:06 pm

I saw one of these at Gilbert, I think it was Fil's. Question is this: Is this a repair panel or a NOS rear panel? I'm not very familiar with the A2 and do not know how the rear panel is built. I know around the tail lights is a separate piece compared to the 151 and A1 version. The way the ends are cut through the stiffener ribs leads me to believe it's a repair panel. Thank you.

Guy, That was a USGI panel to convert back to a stock mutt from a Tow or other setup that required the rear to be open. :)

Blake @ Red River saved a NOS A2 rear panel for himself, we may could borrow it if needed.

Guy, sorry this is in pieces but it is a large sheet and had to be scanned in sections.
