They are bolt holes and typical of the pictures I have seen on M38 Jeeps. Since I am in the Ft Worth area I checked with 820 Jeeps. They have a CJ3A windshield and said he is interested in the M38. Now that I know that the windshield is not the original I have no sentimental attachment to it. Sounds crazy but I hate to replace any original parts that came on the Jeep with replacements unless I have to. I have seen a lot of CJ3A's that have what appears to be M38 windshields. Gets pretty confusing when you try and bring one back to original.   George.....

Are the holes to the left and right of the vent about the size of bolt holes or larger ?  If they are bolt hole size, my guess is it was for the rifle holder that was typically mounted on M-38's.

After some investigation I have determined that my 49 CJ3A has a 1952 M38 windshield. I thought that things just didn't look right when I looked at other members photos. I was going to put a vent in the windshield where the current cover is in place by 2 straps, but now I am not sure this would work since it is an M38. Also I have 4 other large holes that obviously are there for a reason. 2 holes in each of the windshield panels (left and right side next to where the vent would go). Will a vent fit? Then I would also have to weld up the other holes. Wish I could post a picture but I am not sure how to do this.
