Re: 45 mb engine number question
Engine looks like it should be a mid January 1945 casting. Look for a 1 - x or 1 - xx on the passenger side of the block towards the rear of the engine

Hi,
According to the skew graph in Nabholtz, that frame should have an engine around MB575xxx.

Re: 45 mb engine number question
Hi,
The casting date from just below the starter motor would be more helpful.
It’s in MM-DD format.

Hi,
1-17 is the key!
Cast Jan 17th (1945) - so that ties in with sjalberts estimate from the engine number.

Re: 45 mb engine number question
Based on the data I have the original engine would have been around MB585xxx. So based on the casting date the engine you have is WWII but not original to the Jeep. I don’t have any hood number info in the date range of your Jeep.
