There was an overlap between the Cdn2 and the original M38/M38A1 of about 7 years, so old stock could still show up. At least someone took the time to put the right connectors on. As well, it is possible that post service someone could have claimed these parts from an old deuce or a dodge. Of course, it is also possible that an earlier M38A1 replacement engine was used and just the pulleys changed.
I saw the odd earlier stock major assemblies show up on the newer Cdn2 and Cdn3 Jeeps. For instance, I recall one jeep with the earlier 50s style brake shoes on the rear axle. Seems to me we were able to use the M100 trailer shoes in that case.
