Help with turm/hull/deck textures

I'm more concerned with the anomaly in the 7c .dat file, which definitely has something to do with Ambient Occlusion because when you look at the Model Preview everything is fine until you enable Ambient Occlusion map and then you see the black "holes" where the turm and deck gun would sit on the deck.

This is not the case in the original GWX3 7c .dat file. I don't know if it's intentional for some reason in Aces' mod, but it does seem to be the source of the issue I'm having. It didn't show up on the earlier type 7 boats because they're automatically fitted with a deck gun on the start dates I was using. The /41 isn't, and you end up seeing no decking where there should be decking.

This is now looking similar to the issue with the maps/charts on the chart table in the Type 2 interior, which can be solved by adding the same Ambient Occlusion texture map to the second Materials entries for the two tga files involved.

There are also two entries each for the 7c hull and deck .tga files, the first two have a child chunk for the AO texture map but the second two don't. Still tinkering but haven't figured anything out yet.
