Windshield blocks on hood - locations for CJ3A

[pgbuick]

I have a hood going on my 3A project but do not know what the hood originally came from.  Could be a 2A, 3A or M38 hood.  It had multiple holes drilled in it for windshield blocks.  Are the holes in the same location for 2A and 3A windshields?  I am welding up all the holes I don't need, but need to know which ones are correct.  This hood also has a pair of holes on each side up closer to the cowl.  They look to be OEM holes.  What are they for?
Thanks,
Pat

PJ,

Later 3A and M38... The front mounting hole position...

From center seam out...13"

From front edge of hood back...2 1/4" for first hole.  I don't have a measurement for the back hole, but it would be close to 2 3/4" to 2 7/8" back from the first hole.


Earlier 3As  and  2As.  The blocks are not equidistant from the center seam.  Driver side...13" Passenger side...10 1/4".

M-38 hoods do not have the Willys stamping on each side. There is a bit of overlap but generally a "CJ-2A" hood rear reinforcement is made up from 3 separate pieces while a "CJ-3A" hood rear reinforcement is one piece.
