As far as I know the roof hatch / hip ring / cupola / whatever you want to call it on post war vehicles was just an observation hatch, and this seems to be borne out by the total lack of anywhere to attach any kit to on, say, an RL or similar.
However a few vehicles - I'm thinking of K9s specifically - had brackets with a ball shaped mount on. Were these for mounting weaponry or just something innocuous like a searchlight? Has anyone ever seen - or got any photos of - anything with kit mounted on it in period?
