Default Could Have Been/Should Have Been/Pure Fantasy

Thank you Rob for setting the record straight! Primary documentation, photographs, should be the preferred basis of any historically correct reconstruction and not the all too common; could have been/should have been/perhaps/maybe/I like it that way because it is different, fantasy reconstruction method.

Anecdotal evidence is always problematic as there are already too many stories that start with "my Grandmother's best friend's bingo partner once told me that she heard from the garbage man that he saw...."

Fantasy pieces, although perhaps great ego booster for the owner, in the end only muddy the waters when it comes to accurately preserving and recording these vehicles for future generations to enjoy.

So, a photograph of a 'Z' arm on a Canadian UN Jeep will answer the question, until then - fantasy piece.
