Well, I'm really going out on a limb, because I can't easily what I'm
about to speculate on here. I believe that there must have been some
difference between even the "late" Mk.3 (Federal, especially) and the
Mk.IV dashes. The earlier dash pads basically went under the bolt-on
windscreen frame. The Mk.IV dashes slope down more towards the base of
the glass, which is a bit deeper owing to the redesigned cowl area,
where the windscreen frame became permanently a part of the cowl.
Does that sound right, gang?
