Charlie lists the front rib and I'm sure he could make the others.

I have a spare Series II bonnet plus a Series III ready to fit to my shorty, both rust free luckily. The one currently fitted to my shorty (temporary fit about 4 years ago) showers rust particles as you open/close it. The replacement has been prepped but I've never quite found the time to paint it......
The one currently fitted has part of a padlock hasp fitted, possibly a common 'bonnet lock' modification although my Dormobile has holes in the front panel where a Land Rover toolbox lock had been previously fitted and I'll probably re-instate one when I get time.
I've assumed that solid rivets = Series II and pop-rivets = Series III but, as usual, I guess there is no definitive date when it changed.
