Looking for photos of MB's with Hood #'s 20502XXX/USMC 91XXX
Good Afternoon G,
I am looking for photos of MB's with the registration numbers 502XXX or USMC 91XXX.
Both these Hood numbers are in the range of my MB that I currently own but I haven't been able to find more than a couple pictures a piece of any Jeep within those ranges.
I have been to several websites including the famous: "http://www.ww2jeep.gportal.hu/gindex.php?pg=28806986" and they have One photo of a Jeep within that range.
Here it is:
http://www.ww2jeep.gportal.hu/picview.p ... 94&index=2
My MB is a 1944 Willys MB that was contracted under US Army production but then given to the Marines sometime during the war. She was stripped, primed and field painted with USMC hood numbers.
Thanks for the help!

Not quite 20502XXX but 20513420-S looking like it will need that rebuild in Yokosuka.
The one just closest to the camera in the middle.

Thank you very much posting that image, Bill!
I will save it to my computer and see if I can find anymore hood numbers around that area.
With a little blood,sweat and tears, they could all be factory new again one day!

No worries! Here is the link I used to find that photo, there are more and maybe your eyes are better than mine.
I used the search term "Okinawa" as that is what I recalled from these photos being posted by some keen observers on G503 a few years ago.

Good luck and Happy new year!

I think you are right Ian
The front spring looks like it may have a Ford type clip. Happy new year to you and family too!
Back to the drawing board!

Hello BW
Do you have a copy of John Farleys book 'The Standardised War-Time Jeep' volume2? It shows a picture of USA 20505966 so maybe that's the closest up to now of the one you seek.
regards Nick
ps Bill That registration picture you posted, is listed by John as being on a February 1944 produced Ford.

and some close on the USMC list... but no photos I am aware of.
I will keep an eye out.

Good Morning All,
Thank you very much for the help thus far! Your posts have been very helpful to my research and I feel like I am slowly uncovering more photos everyday.
So far, I am up to three!
I was going to purchase John's book but unfortunately, it's 75.00 on Ebay and I can't bring myself to spend that type of money on a book!

I was looking at those two Jeeps as well but I haven't come across any photos of those two vehicles either. In fact, I have seen several photos of Jeeps around my hood numbers, (such as 501 & 503) but nothing in the middle.
