Yeah I think it might be a recessed headlight model. Mines almost totally original except for paint, fuel filler position and the exhaust manifold. Will be a restoration job. Not an offroader. They are worth too much.

Yes, NZ army did have a few MB Jeeps until the Land Rover came along around 1951. There are a couple of old war time jeeps in the NZ Army Museum collection at Waiouru.

Plus in private collections as you see them at war birds over wanaka and the ww1 vintage planes at Blenheim.
