Gracias por las fotografias!
Este GPW 45 tiene chasis Willys y palier trasero semiflotante...
El agujero del paragolpes, por donde metes la manija de arranque pareciera estar al reves.... deberia estar más cerca del lado inferior de este.
Tal vez sea un CJ militarizado con un body GPW...

Encontre este post, con respecto al color negro del chasis del shore patrol de la siguiente fotografia

Segun los Popes , dentro de los programas de reacondicionamiento de vehiculos de la marina,existia la posibilidad de pintar partes criticas del vehiculo, como el chasis , con pinturas asfalticas...

David A. some time ago sent me a copy of the U.S. Navy Preventative Maintenance Program for Domestic Transportation Equipment (including jeeps) dated August 1944 he found at the museum in Port Hueneme, California.

In summary:

All U.S. Navy domestic transportation vehicles shall be painted medium gray #123.

How marked. - Lettering and numbers shall preferably be applied by Decalcomania transfers, otherwise with paint. Color of markings shall be black.

So, now we have hard documentation that the Navy painted jeeps gray during the WWII war period, from August 1944 until the end of the war. However, it is noted this was done only within the continental United States.

Interesting to note medium gray #123 is as set forth in Color Card Supplement (21 April 1943) of U.S. Army Specification No. 3-1. It is gloss color synthetic enamel and the detail specifications are covered in U.S. Army Specification No. 3-175A, 5 February 1944. Paint is grade II due to the critical supply of certain ingredients.

The Navy Preventative Maintenance program, NAVEXOS P 65 discusses undercoating on page 30. Basically, it suggests sandblasting/cleaning the running gear and under fender surfaces in localities with very extreme corrosion conditions and spraying the under surfaces with an asphalt emulsion. So, it appears that for the Navy, the undercoating was done at the local level.

There were also lots of overseas Navy jeeps painted one gray (grey) or another.

Here is one with grey, OD and black.




There are a lot of variations... basically at the base or ship commander's whim.

Mine was originally forest green; the first Navy grey repaint was a dark grey with white numbers, a white star on the hood, yellow on the passenger’s side door opening and the cowl. The second repaint was light grey and black numbers.
