UPDATE: Blaine shared this Ghost Army image of a jeep that appeared on the Messynessychic.com blog back in 2015.
============================
Original post March 13, 2021: This pic reminds me of the Ghost Army documentary I mentioned back in 2019. The photo below shows a combled-together fake jeep. I’m still hoping to find some better photos of a Ghost Army inflatable jeep. Dummy tank photos are much easier to find. The photo was taken November of 1944 in Wongabel, Queensland, Australia.

With all due respect to the folks who thought this up….would a Jeep, real or dummy, be much of a deterrent?
Offensive weapons, aircraft, a phantom fleet just over the horizon given away by accidental “careless” radio chatter…sure.
But a Jeep?
(If for no other reasons that if an enemy agent or reconnaissance aircraft was close enough to see a Jeep, they’d be close enough to see they weren’t real!)
It sounds like a Special Operations guy had too much time on his hands.
