Sd.Kfz.7

Hi all. Greetings.
I am new to this side of the forum - I do have a scratchbuild going on in the U-Boat section but for a change of pace I am working on a build of a DML Sd.Kfz.7 semitracked prime mover.
I am never able to build a kit out of the box - the urge to scratchbuild is too strong.
I am doing this build as a well used vehicle that has been tipped over so the underbelly can be seen, and I will build it as if there was a fire under the driver's seat, which is where the fuel cell is. Much destruction! :-)
My question is this...
Does anyone know if the leather seat was mounted on a wooden board that hinged to allow access to the fuel cell or was it steel? I have seen one photo of a restored Sd.Kfz7 at Toadman's site
http://www.toadmanstankpictures.com/sdkfz7_21.jpg
that shows what looks to be wood the leather seat is sitting on, but I have not found out if all of them had it or if that was a "restoration" that was improper.
As I am building this as a burned out vehicle, it would be good to know if that area would be burnt wood or really scorched metal.
Thanks chaps, and looking forward to any info.
Christopher

Well, the boys over at
http://www.armchairgeneral.com/forums/
tell me that the answer is "Yes, the leather seat on an Sd.Kfz.7 is leather over a wooden plank or board, sometimes painted, sometimes not.
Thanks for the cheers, Rokket!
