Re: jeep mb 267831
I can't answer your question about whether this jeep was in Normandy, but I'm assuming you're located in France somewhere? I'm actually going to Normandy in a few weeks on vacation It would be awesome if you were able to pin point it back to there, though! Definitely looks like a solid and very complete original MB. Congrats on the find and welcome to the G!

What a cracking find, it seems that finds like this are getting scarce, but they still keep surfacing, which is GREAT.

Re: jeep mb 267831
Gas warning paint on the hood star?
Visible on a well-known photo of Jeeps in a landing craft on D-Day. I have never seen another photo showing them.

Re: jeep mb 267831
Excellent decision. This is a piece of history, preservation rather than restoration.

What is the serial number of your block? By my calculations, by 19 Jan 43 you should have a PCV valve.

Since you’re going to leave it as is, it doesn’t matter.
