    Wonder what that first one is about. Odd bug-eyed jeeps with no tires. Railroad? Captions would be helpful

    Bill,
    Charles includes captions when he can find them, but often the pics exist without them.

    First photo dated 1948, looks like some sort of military rebuild facility. Possibly larger headlights were required for road use. By 1948, rubber tires should have been plentiful, but maybe not.

    First photo,
    Look carefully at the three mechanics. Fitting tireless rims certainly puts the engine bays at a convenient height for topside access. Are those two-piece (…and the back half of two-piece) combat rims?

    All ya need are spare junk rims, and it frees up tires for use on other jeeps. The vehicles are also still easy to move around the shop.

    That’s my guess…

    Perhaps this is a Jeep “tech tip”, clawing its way back from ’48.
