Hi Cees,
Rubber cover = early Ford GPW or GPA
Leather cover = late(r) Ford GPW or GPA
just like the covers for the shift stick and transfer case .......
They changed it to leather to save on rubber. They needed the rubber for other products, like tires etc. which were more important at the time !
Best regards,
Glenn
