"One last point to make is that whilst the majority of rebuilding work was carried out at la Maltournée some jeeps were rebuilt at other regional workshops like Clermont Ferrand and contract work was also carried out by workshops outside France e.g. ITM jeeps were also produced in Germany during the 1950s by WERK HATTINGEN (RUHR). These sometimes have body tubs made under licence in Germany by ESKANOR.
Out of curiosity has any member found a German Eskanor tub? How would one identify it?

Re: German built M201 tubs Eskanor?
Hi there,
First I never saw one !
Second there are differences between a M201 bodytub and an Eskanor bodytub.
Eskanor build body's for french ITM jeeps in the early 1950's.
Using the Willys MB model with GPW characteristics.
They are looking almost the same as WWII body's.
The sheet metal is thicker but it is missing the indent on the dashboard.
The toe board gussets are the same as the Hotchkiss version.
That's all I know .
This information is from the KTR FORUM (i'm one of the moderators) and is translated from dutch .
