From memory the payload of a C47 is 2-1/2 ton. An unladen Jeep is around a ton so no more than two Jeeps would be the safe operating limit.
At 3.54 the bungs in the middle of the cabin windows can clearly be seen. These could be removed to allow defensive firing of small arms if the aircraft was attacked in flight whilst carrying troops. It would be interesting to know if they were ever actually used in anger.
