I bought a hood cover for my M38A1 this weekend and I've never seen one before. Has anyone else seen one of these?

Yes. They come with the Arctic Powerplant Heater kit.

Would you possibly have a picture of one installed? I have the cover but no grill cover and it looks like something else attaches to the side of the cover?

My M37CDN had one of those kerosene engine heaters, though it was defunct by the time we got it. There were a whole bunch of the little loops for the hood blanket, they were always in the way and collected alder leaves and branches when driving on overgrown roads. Did the M38A1 blanket come with the little loops? I would be reluctant to drill all the holes for them...

Yes they used the same fastening loops. The heaters burned the same gasoline the truck used. Gasoline trucks used gasoline burning heaters and #1 or #2 diesel trucks used #1 or #2 diesel burning heaters.

I figured it burned gas, but Dad swore up and down it burned kerosene. It seemed like a pretty involved installation. There were no fuel lines hooked to it by the time we got it.
