For a timeline I would guess at 1976 or 1977. There are what appears to be Chev 5/4 tons in the background along with a Dodge M152, so it was during the transition. And I think the 5 ton diesels were 1976 vintage, but I can't be sure. They might have been 1974....I'll have to check the EDR viewer.
It well could be that they put a ferret into a regular deuce with the wheelwells, and made the wooden spacers to fit above the wells. We used to do that for Jeeps, but a Jeep only weighs a third of what a ferret weighs. As I said before, you really are pushing the envelope with a ferret in the back of a deuce.
