Came across the following.

I'm no VEP expert so happy for this to be moved, but square fuel tank and solid rims

I think this is a Willys Slat Grille. Square fuel sump, no screws where the fire extinguisher would be mounted, safety eye bolt turned. Solid rims too.

Looks to most likely be a 9 Feb. '42 MB slat grill.
