I can't speak of PPCLI useage, but I did watch some lengthy film footage a few years back of the RCHA's deployment to and at Korea. Early in the film, it was all WW2 vintage jeeps. Towards the end of the film, it was M38A1s. Lots of colour on them, of course, with all the various unit and brigade markings which were the norm in the 50s.

Surely there must be photos in the Cdn archives of vehicles in Korea. I recall one showing 2VP guys using a M100 (or possibly a WWII vintage) trailer as a makeshift bathtub.
Below is a photo of a young fellow 2VP adopted: Little Joe. Jeep in the background is a MB/GPW. This is a good source of Korean photos, although most of them seem to be the Cdn archives examples: www.kvacanada.com
