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

Hello Cees, I found the same as yours mounted on my GPA (January 1943).
