Re: MZ jeep photo (Camp Pendleton?)
Instead of flooding the forum with MZ photos, I'll just keep adding to this one. Source, dates and place given whenever possible.
MZ jeep with boxes removed. Not much to look at.
Ernie Pyle next to and on top of an MZ. You can just barely see the antenna box in the first photo. Hood number 54227

MZ-2, note the angled antenna box. USMC 101724
Note: Even though the caption says this jeep is carrying Marine Raiders in Bougainville, this has been mislabeled by the Marine Corps Museum.
Ebay photo, dated 7-9-1943. This jeep is so fresh from the factory, the screws securing the remote control cable clamps are still in their black finish. USMC 54023

Re: MZ jeep photo collection
Great photos.
Look at that spare and the later higher rear seat back and antenna base.
