I have contacted the 8th Recce association but no result, they even asked on the latest reunion if the veterans have recollection of special jeeps but apparently nobody did

Pieter, if you can't find proof of any armed jeeps in use with 8th Recce (not all recce jeeps were heavily armed and/or modified), why don't you research a unit which operated in your neighbourhood that did have armed jeeps? If you are adamant about having (a) machine-gun(s) on your jeep, you can't do much better that recreating one of the jeeps of the 2nd and 3rd Régiment de Chasseurs Parachutistes (part of the British Special Air Service) who were in action in the North of the Netherlands during Operation Amherst in April 1945.
