Ron,

You could well be right. Willys / Kaiser also sold their Jeep to Armies without the interference of the US military, for example the Netherlands (when they were fighting a colonial war with Indonesia), Israel and Switzerland. Pics below show the Swiss Army militarized CJ-5, which is nothing more than a CJ-5 painted olive drab and fited with a military type folding top, black-out lighting and some other minor modifications like a shovel fitted under the body. The Swiss even had a 24-volt radio version.

These militarised CJ-5s are not to be confused with the M606A2 / A3, another militarised version of the CJ-5 manufactured for the US government for MDAP supply to friendly countries.

Regards,
Hanno
