Can you please identify this jeep ?

..... the vertical post of the rear window and the folded top........ but that side panel must have been photoshopped or the driver has the wheel well right up his ass............

[Alex van de Wetering]

That looks a lot like a Bosch Semapore/trafficator. What about the front end of a German car married to the rear of a Jeep by some motorpool guys?

I think Alex is on the right track.

1. That does seem to be a Bosch trafficator, an old one as seen below.
2. The cowl and windscreen are not "Jeep" but rather some sort of passenger or light commercial vehicle front end.
3. The front and rear upholstery is leather or leatherette and the rear seat is a full length bench seat, not the short Jeep one.
4. The top/hood folding mechanism does not resemble a Jeep.
5. The only thing "Jeep" about the photo is the small portion of body and the grab handle is in the right place and the fender/mudguard cutout looks proper.

Probably a "bitsa" assembled post war I would imagine.

If you look at the back it has padded fluted seats then there is the civvy style windscreen. There were a number of conversions done in Germany 1945 on civilianising jeeps by US personnel and this looks like one of them. The attached photo is representative.
cheers
