I also think it's original, I just want to know what is written inside (to be sure). If you will be removing its cover, please post a picture. Would be interesting to know what's there..

Radio mounting & decontaminator holes, Various markings, there is so much history with this Jeep, work carefully & document everything.
Fantastic find, good luck.

Hello
I have already restored my first jeep and I am very a purist, thus the restoration of this one will not raise me of problem. Especially since I am a mechanic.
