   Didn’t M38A1s have the hinged front grill? The rest of it appears consistent with an M38A1 (vice CJ5).

   I believe the early ones had the hinged grille, but not the later ones….but I may be wrong….

   I took some time to find out when the hinged grille stopped (and learned a few additional pieces of info). Production M-38A1s from the beginning in 1952 through Oct/Nov of 1953 included:
   -Battery Box was 8 thumb screws
   -Front Grill was hinged
   -No Radiator Support rods were present
   -Front fenders were seamed differently.

   Thanks Robert and Dave. I learn something new on eWillys every day… a key reason why it’s my daily addiction! 😉
