Second an M38A1 would have a larger fuel tank extending below the body line where this vehicle has an exhaust pipe. Third I don't recall the M38A1 having the indentation along the forward edge of the fender (for '68+ federal side marker lights of civilian vehicles). I don't see any sign of the drivers side glove box of the M38A1. Obviously it is recreated to be military but is not.

The bombing killed US Army Lieutenant Colonel Paul Bloomquist and wounded 13 others, the RAF stated that bombing was in retaliation for the US re-escalation of the Vietnam War. -- Last edit: 2020-01-18 16:38:20
