The props lady on the set ( Point Cook I think it was ) didn't have a clue re: the correct vehicles for that period . I politely pointed out what would be correct , but she said " there is a Jeep in the script , so we want a Jeep "

If they have the money, give 'em a Jeep... by the sound of that props lady you could have even painted a Wrangler OD with stars and got away with it.
