Caption contest for experts

Attached is a picture from Camp Breckinridge,KY...if you had to write a caption identifying the jeeps for a book or article what would you write? Answers should give the model from left to right.

Boy Gavin's hot! Ron, he deserves a promotion! Assume the fishbone hood battens are diagnostic for Pvt Yawner...have another contestant who sees the fifth one in as an MB rather than a your GPW...but,that has got to be a pretty close call in a photo like this! FWIW this photo is available in an album for sale on eBay for 149$ buy it now...several slat girls shown, so it is really at a very transitional time...

Well, it doesn't take a lot of imagination to know what kind of job proofing WARBABY was! Sorry girls... :D
