There's a check point that's prepared to reach out a bit to engage. Looks pretty miserable though. Over boots and the ponchos speak of nasty weather.

That is very unusual to see an M2 mounted on a jeep. Although you see every jeep in a parade with one or in Rat Patrol, in real life there were very few. The M2 was not meant to mount on a jeep. Shooting one from the M31C mount (which this one is) will tear the floor and MG frame plate to shreds in very short order!
tire chains also
And on front and rear. The jeep only came with one set too.
That's true, the accuracy was absolutely non existent...everything from curb to horizon...Quote:

Sure they did. I do note that the PTO has a lot more pics. of carbines with launchers on them .
