Looking at the original rear bulkhead window frame illustrated here in a couple of different posts, I see three mounting tabs: one on the bottom and one on each end. Everyone claims this is the original style - I don't have a copy of GT40P/1/2443 drawing to confirm or deny this.

Looking at Adam C's site and posts, his show the same three tabs.

Looking at the few pictures I've been able to locate, I see what appears to be a fourth tab on the upper side. Was this a loose piece that was riveted in at some time later? I can't imagine being able to get a good seal on the window against the bulkhead.

Can anyone clarify how this frame was mounted to the bulkhead along the top?
 
I have seen at least three different window frames, the one above which is Mk1 , Mk2 with a tab on each end at the top and one tab all the way around riveted to the bulkhead panel seen this on a MK2 and 105.
