Prop identification in "The Cage"

Hello all,

I'm hoping someone among us can help me identify a prop, and likewise what it would be attached to. The prop in question is a canopy that is visible in several shots of the survivors encampment illusion the Talosians created for Pike and crew. Near as I can figure, it resembles the canopy of a B-25 bomber from World War II - but it's much too narrow and has many more ribs than I would expect for the same. The ribs have some of the look of the Vultee V-11 Canadian bomber seen below. Would anyone have an idea what plane or vehicle it belongs to?

Here's the prop on set..

And here's the B-25 bomber, with the canopy over the forward gun mount

And here is the V-11 with the gothic-styled ribbing..

If anyone has an idea, please let me know- thanks!
