There is a panel you are missing ties into the top panel you have in place, (where the starter button is affixed). The lower section fills the remainder of the hole sans the transmission top cover. Essentially there are three pieces in total for the center. With the three pieces removed, it made engine and transmission access easy. This also allows the body to be removed without removing the steering wheel. I'll look around to see if there are any reproductions or descent used ones are available.
There is also a cover that covers the passenger floor toe board. This one allows access to the heater core if equiped from the top side. I'll get you some pictures early in the AM.

pictures early in the AM. thanks trying to describe what i need to mike at kaiser not easy considering he deals with all of the jeeps even sent a photo to him

I fouled up my explanation. I fixed it so it makes more sense.
I found one lower transmission cover on eBay. It is an NOS, and $125.00. They are proud of them. While looking, there was one heater core inspection cover for $9.99.

its one hell of a start in filling that hole up
-
That's what you needed. Did Mike have one?
-
The good news is that the piece fills a lot of the hole at one time...
-

$1,000 is a bit much on an entire floor. You did well. I thought I had more pictures of the covers, but no. This one will give you the general idea.

I forgot I had pictures from the M38 that I had. The layout is much the same as the A1. The sides of the lower cover was glassed over, so the bolt holes were not visible. That was the strange part of this M38. The floors were not in bad condition, but there was a thick layer of fiberglass slathered over the whole floor. I did notice that I had the master cylinder cover turned the wrong direction. The flat edge is supposed to be against the edge of the throttle mount bulge. The last picture was a make a like aftermarket body. It was a bastardization of a CJ and a M38, but it did have the military style trans cover.
