Default It is a Civilian jeep CJ-2A painted green

I am more familiar with the military models, but it is definitely an early Civilian Jeep (thus the CJ) probably the CJ-2A

Key features:
- Drain holes above steps on sides
- bug eye headlights (also seen on M38/M28A1 etc)
- Spare tire mount on right side aft fo wheelwell. (M38 has the holes and could carry a spare there but this was not common)
- Windshield panel has washers and loooks like it has WILLYS in middle (normal for CJ)
- Hood should also have WILLYS on each side, and I don't see it here so has wrong hood I believe.

In Korean War they used mainly WWII MB and GPW jeeps. In the movie and TV series they used a variety of types.

I can't reall off hand if the movie or TV shows used CJ-2A jeeps. Looks like someone probably thought "close" was good enough. A jeep is a jeep is a jeep...
