Found the filler cap over at CCS on A Radius 22 stove. Mystery solved.
After looking in the gallery I found that the missing holes in the vent, no fuel level gauge and hole through the vent nut are typical features on...
It only has half of the ventilation holes in the vent, it does not have a fuel gauge and it has a filler cap which I have not seen on another...
