I spotted this on one of the phot collections threads:

There appears to be a clear panel set into the roof of the cab. What was it for? Why was it not on the driver’s side?Silcocks had these too, it was so you could see the top deck when going round a right hand turn, you didn’t need one on the drivers side because you could stick your head out the window.
I never would have guessed that. Ta

These panels were fitted in the mercuries and other old cabs that Autocar used back in the late 60’s early 70’s when I worked for them. On uneven ground the peak deck and cab roof sometimes touched and that panel would leak and the workshop just put some sealant around it but it was never a good idea.
