Can anyone identify which model these bows belong on ? They came with a mix of extra parts included with my '48 CJ2A, but appear to be for a GPW or MB ?

They look like after market top bows to me. Possible K-Line or Witco manufacture. Certainly not OEM type.

Are they hinged and are they they same length? It's hard to tell but the pic if they stacked right up to each other or if they are hinged and opend up. What do the ends look like?

bretto,
Sorry, it's not a very good pic, but the two bows are not the same length, one is about 2 inches shorter than the other. The legs are attached to 2 flat bottom brackets with sides rising an inch or so on each side of the bracket. The flat bottoms of the brackets each have 2 holes for screws or bolts to attach the whole assembly to the jeep. The sides of the legs are covered with some type of naugahyde.

Now by your description, they were made by K-line manufacturing of Longmont, Colorado. They made jeep top's thru the 90's.
