I believe the transmission was removed not by hand but by a rather large artillery shell. Theres a piece of it laying in front of the tank. That's a picture of a tank destroyed at Anzio and it was directly hit. There has been no time to strip it of weapons yet.

That's more my thinking. The scorch marks aft tell me something happened.

Many years ago when I was still living in Vancouver, B.C. I bought a badly worn 1942 GPW from your neck of the woods from a seller in Burlington, WA. I soon learned the subtle differences between the MB's and the GPW's as I restored it. Same as the GPW in your picture, my Ford had no manual windshield wipers, is that another discerning feature between the Willy's Jeeps and the Ford's?
