WANTED RL-51 Frame and Reel

Looking for an RL-51 frame for fitting to the rear of a GPW/MB. The frame carries a telephone cable reel which allows the wire to be laid on the move.
Frame wanted with or without reel.

The picture you posted has what appears to be an RL-31. There was a special kit with the brackets needed to mount to the back of a jeep. Mark Van Klaveren recently listed the mounting kit for sale.
