The insert of the 3 pressed panel windshield is of a CJ3A style but does not look like a factory center opening (suspect local custom mounted on a WWII jeep). The grille is WWII on all. The frame pics on the assembly line are WWII jeep models as evidenced by the remaining portion of the machine gun mount. The rear leaf spring clamps would indicate a Willys MB rather than a Ford.
