WOW. Finally I see a real one. The carbines too...and the Jeep plate, done so you can read it in the mirror following you. Guy up front wearing the seldom seen "Jungle boots" of the era.

The front left....er....right tire is a rare implement tire used on very early prototype BRCs and MAs.

No, very early "pre-pre-production" Land-Rover.

The soldier with the jungle boots mentioned has what kind of helmet?

Sun helmet.

Off the top of my head I'll say that looks like a sun helmet. I like the NY license plate. Is that a gas trap garand?

I just don't think so...this far along in the war. I know on some forums they just JUMP to decide it's a gas trap, but I don't think so...
