Mike, it is not one of the more circular Steyr hoods, when I researched '43 Steyr's the ones that retained hoods did not have the rounded hood on them, I believe I ran across only one very early '43 that did. Mine is P block so I end with the more common type. The hood, cleaning rod and locking screw are all original, the locking screws are even the mid war round head with no relief cut. I've seen them on eBay quite a bit, just have to be patient.
