Not the correct thread for the truck, but I'm not up to the ID and this photo is on eBay at the moment showing clear Middle East markings.



Are they the right way up if viewed in Australia ?

Default markings

Back in 1976, I bought a slatt grill Willys DOD 31 12 41

The bonnet had a RAAF number on it, but beneath was a blue W-USA number , it also sported a white star on the bonnet , near the windscreen end .

For some reason, you don't often see US stars on US vehicles in the SWPA and in Australia . More often, they only have the numbers without any star. Does anyone know why ?
