Nice pics. The first Jeep is not a WWII Willys MB though. It is a post war CJ2A. You can tell by the external fuel filler and lack of tool slots/attachments on the left side. The CJ2A grill had only 7 vertical slots and larger, surface mounted headlights. It also had a taller windshield to allow more headroom and should have a tailgate, but I can’t tell from the pics. The rear step bumper/tow strip is also a give-away.

It looks like it has been “backdated” to look more like an MB by swapping out the front grill and windshield with MB parts. This could be easily done since they were basically the same frame/body, with just a few mods for the new parts.
