I did read Bob's M38/Pilot article on the Siblings page.  Very informative.  Photo's are old and grainy, but I think I can make out a couple none cut vents.

That feature can be seen in period photographs of the pilot models. There is an article in the MVPA magazine Army Motors issue #126 with many great photographs. Pilot model #5 has survived and is owned by a collector. A friend and I took a 2000+ mile road trip to see MC 10005 for a couple hours. MC 10005 still has the original un-punched windshield frame.

Bob you have to tell us how you came across that little tid bit of information!  I have had your book sitting in my Walck's cart for two months........patiently waiting until I add some more parts to order.  I may have to bite the shipping bullet and just order the book alone!

You guys are both so informative, I sometimes forget who I'm writing to.  

To sum up...Thanks Bob!

Still hoping for that photo Mac!

The six pilot model M-38s did not have the center punched out.

There is another possibility, however it's very unlikely  ;)

I have a CJ3A but the windshield does not have the vent. The outline is there but it is not cut out. I am planning to cut it out and use a 3A vent door, spring and handle. any suggestions?
I have never seen a 3A windshield without the vent having been cut out.  I wouldn't mind have one like that.  I have never opened mine since the restoration project was completed more than three years ago.  However, I drive it only in the summer and do not have a top.  I don't need the vent.

The M38 windshields have the vent panel in them but they were bolted shut with two straps over the exterior. I have a couple extra panels with handles I picked up at a swap meet. Send a PM if you need one and I'll send you a picture.

It might be an M38 Windshield, just guessing
