Hi Jack: 
 
Thanks for the correction on 4x2 vs. 4x4. I was not sure from the angle of the photo whether you could see the front differential or not but now I see the straight axle much better. 
 
Regarding the blanked off side lights, this seemed to be fairly common on these wartime conversions.  I found several photos on Hanno's MH site and other sites when I was looking for a 4x4 answer that had them blanked off in a similar manner. 
 
Bill
