Re: MZ jeep photo collection
The above photo sure appears to show no number on the side of the MZ. You have to wonder if the conversions were ever marked?

Re: MZ jeep photo collection
I don't think this one is a conversion being that it has a Dyneto wiper setup on the driver side.

Found these on ebay, an MZ Jeep with radio equipment removed amd .50 cal installed. No date or caption, and am unsure if it's in the ETO or PTO. The rest of the photos indicated possibly European architecture.

Re: MZ jeep photo collection
Can anyone tell what service is using this jeep?
Can anyone read the hood number?
I had a lively conversation extremely early this morning (for the individual I was talking to) on how to represent the Navy/USMC radio jeep during judging at a Convention if the gentleman owning the contract radio jeep did not have the means to complete the radio system.
We agreed it was better to have a perfect restoration w/o the radio system be judged in Motor Pool class as the deductions in Restored Class would be harsh.
This will mean we can put Ma Duce on a contract jeep in MP class with some pretty cool accessories.
Great find Farrell!

Here is the link to the ebay listing.

I also found another listing with more photos from the same album.

The soldier in question was definitely in the U.S. Army, and it looks like the photos were taken in Europe. It looks like some in England, as I'm pretty sure that is the Westminster Palace in one of the photos.
