I believe there are Ford documents which indicate that the MB type radiator became optional sometime late in 1943. Your Dec 1943 GPW could arguably have either one.

Funny, this is the club of GPW's from Dec, 1943
Mine is also from 1943, Dec 7 with s/n 164794 but with a GPA radiator !
The same day, but a little younger than Frank's jeep.
