That's the standard roof that looks like a tent. Most cut down the frame to make it look, err, normal lol.
If it ticks over...leave it

IMO canvas would look better, more in keeping, but hey that's just me.
Also now I'm beginning to realise I have nothing to mount a hood to. Who ever did it as it is now removed and filled every thing.
