Looks suspiciously like a Sptfire one, but pretty sure the GT6 is the same. Next to the vents on either side there are posts for the tonneau to attach to on the Spitfire, I wouldn't imagine they would be needed on the GT6. Looks like the holes are there for them on that one.

It's from a Spitfire, at least MK IV and 1500. As said above the holes next to the vents are to fit the metal cover strips. Some screws also double as a fastener for the tonneau.
1972 Spitfire MK IV
1972 Stag
1980 Sprint

1962 Land Rover Series 2a
1961 Land Rover Series 2a (under restoration)
1983 Land Rover Series 3

1995 Suzuki Samurai SJ413

1972 MGB GT (banished for being too tight to fit in it)

GT6 MK 3/Spitfire IV/Spitfire 1500 are the same part number. I think the differences (for tonneau fittings etc) are in the metal surrounds for the vents or the screws.
