Do you mean part 3939?



Going by the data collected on Peeron, this part first appeared in 1978. For the next ~13 years, the part only appeared in transparent colors. So I’d guess it was intended as a windshield/canopy, instead of a roof. Windshields are usually pretty smooth.

See http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3939, and click the link for the complete color table (underneath the partial color table shown on the page).
