Which one?

This White would later become the M3A1 scout car. You may notice some similarities.

Most of the cargo trucks are likely Dodges judging by the shape of the grill guards.

The Carryalls are Chevrolets.

Notice the traditional cavalry ("Smokey Bear") hats and the cavalry leggings and boots.

Whitewall tires on your artillery piece? What a classy touch!
Is it true real Jeeps have flat fenders?

I had the same thought about the whitewalls. Perhaps they would have made it easier to locate the artillery piece if it were misplaced in the woods. backsink
