I was debating whether this was a cropped version of Carl Mydan’s Life Magazine photo (seen here at Alex’s Tahiti Pacifique site) or a different photo. I am leaning towards it being a different photo as the angle seems a little higher on this one.

About two months after this photo was taken, the Korean war started. I’m sure those jeeps were all refurbed or used for parts very soon after that-there were workshops in Japan that took vehicles apart and totally rebuilt them.
