Roof profiles - hardtop vs. truck cab

Just wondering whether anyone knows, or has examples of both and can check, whether the radius from the gutter channel to the top of the roof is the same on a hardtop roof as it is for a truck cab roof. From studying a few photos & looking at my station wagon the hard top roof has a radius that seems to start at the gutter channel & continues to the flat top part of the roof whereas the truck can appears to have a vertical face on the side before transitioning to a tighter radius into the flat roof. Can anyone confirm please??

Cheers.

I have both !
And yes the hard top curves from the gutter to the top. The truck cab has flat sides then a curve

Thanks - that has confirmed what I thought so it's back to the drawing board... Had hoped to use a truck cab roof & rear panel to make the front of a custom rear canopy for a double cab & mate it to the rear section of a hard top roof & side panels.
