Truck cab is identical S2/2a/3 and LWB/SWB. Your problem is that there is an additional piece to fit the gap - p/n 346325. You should be able to find one second hand, I would think. JD
You need an adaptor rail 346325, approx 12 ukp

I think you'll find that's normal. The pictures in the old Haynes show a "cab mounting rail" which appears to fit across the back body just behind the bulkhead, with a support bracket underneath it.
you need to find one to look at.
Its a very simple thing. Its basically just a (mainly) flat length that rests across the top of the back bulkhead and on the sides of the tub. It has a few holes and cut outs in for seatbelts and stuff. I think it may be slightly bumpy so that it sits in place better.
You could easily make one yourself. In addition to the proper one i have, I also have a home made one which is just a length of U shaped metal which wedges in.
If anyone wants pictures to base their own on i can take them.
If I remember right, it's pretty simple, and it wouldn't be hard to make something that would fill the gap and look good.
Pictures wold be nice...

I can do you a picture of the cab assembly from the old haynes, if you haven't got one.
If you have, it's on page 172 of OWM314, LR series II, IIA & III, 1958-1985,
