By Darryl's chart (http://ww2jeeps.com/htm/gpw-mbbody.htm) I must have a horizontal taillight mounts (43 December MB).
Is it true?
Because my other body (ACMC 2 number: 133359) has original (I'm thinking so) vertical taillight mounts. By Darryl's chart this body is made on 44-45 and it must have horizontal taillight mounts.
Problems/questions:
1. what kind of taillight mounts must be on my ACMC 1 43 Dec MB?
2. how to explain that ACMC 2 number 133359 body has vertical taillight mounts, when Darryl's chart refers to vertical ones only for Ford made bodies?

I'm lucky on this body.
The MB body's taillights are cut off from the top to the bottom of rear panel..

I'm not a slat guy, maybe someone will solve this issue who knows more about these taillight mounts..
