This has the extended rear. Maybe a motor pool modification? Some of the pics show it without the body and some show it with the body.

I wonder if this was one of the GPWs that Ford built for the US Coast Guard in WWII? Some of those had an extended wheelbase and some didn”t.
Sure looks like a smaller version of the Coast Guard’s “Invader Jeep” to me as well: http://www.ewillys.com/2015/01/06/photo-of-the-coast-guard-invader-jeep-on-ebay/
This thing is very cool. Needs to be saved.
