Re: Navy and USMC Registration Numbers
Dont know if it helps or is of interest but when i bought my MB it came with a few navy grey parts including MB steering wheel and GPW hood on it, under the paint the original markings on that hood was USN 156029. I am building a GPW out of parts so will use this hood on it. Does anyone know what they number tells of the Navy GPW the hood came off.
Id rather walk than not drive a Jeep

Re: Navy and USMC Registration Numbers
It would help a lot if you posted a close up photo of the hood with the USN number.

Hi Colin,
Knowing the Serial # and Date of Delivery ( data plate photo would be great ) of the 43 MB would be a big help also.

Re: Navy and USMC Registration Numbers
Looks like USN is it real or fake? Cane out of SC a few years back.

Re: Navy and USMC Registration Numbers
I dont see it referenced anywhere, so is it originally a USN jeep or did somebody paint numbers on it 30 years aggo?

Re: Navy and USMC Registration Numbers
I found what I believe are original USMC registration numbers (33707) on my 1-43 MBT. They are on the rear panel and front panel of the trailer. There are also white stars on each side of the trailer in front of the wheels. Do they look legit to you guys? Thoughts? I also uncovered USMC Forest Green under the layer of OD someone applied to the trailer at some point. The trailer came out of California, so salt/rust/major corrosion wasn't an issue which is why I believe this trailer and its markings survived.

Re: Navy and USMC Registration Numbers
Please post a photo of the data plate if you have one?
Here is a photo of one in my library that has 2" markings that appear the same as the original jeep font.

Re: Navy and USMC Registration Numbers
Mark,
Here is a picture of the data plate. Serial number 18901 (the first 1 is hard to make out). The font on mine is definitely not the orig jeep font, and because the numbers and letters are kind of uneven, it looks like mine would have definitely been added quickly in the field if truly original.
