Here’s a very rare photo of the 1/2 ton MLW-2, built by Willys-Overland to carry six men in the rear and two in the front. Only two prototypes were built and there whereabouts are unknown (to the Mark Askew’s knowledge).

Learn more about them here: http://www.milweb.net/features/willys_jeep.php

UPDATE: JW correctly pointed out there are TWO Prince of Wales Islands in the world (perhaps more??). The jeep shown below is located on the Australian Prince of Wales Island, which sites just south of Papau New Guinea (I erroneous thought it was in laska)

This old right-hand appearing jeep was found on the Prince of Wales Island in 2013 and published at Going Strait. Not much salvageable here.
