Proper Markings for a CJ-3A APU Navy Jeep?

Tom was wondering if anyone knows what the proper markings for a CJ-3A APU Navy Jeep might be? He’s been restoring a Modified by O.E.Szekely & Assoc jeep, but can’t find any information on the markings. I didn’t have any luck either.

This page show some markings on the APU jeep on the bottom, but are those correct? My understanding is that the vehicles were purchased by the Navy. I’m unclear how many were used by the Marine Corps:  http://www.ewillys.com/2013/03/25/the-o-e-szekely-apu-navy-jeeps/

1956 Article about the Super Drake on eBay

While the concept of the Super Drake was tested, I don’t believe it ever achieved production (at least I couldn’t find anything about it).

“An Original 1956 ONE-Page pictorial that was removed from a vintage Magazine. Perfect size to mat and frame, it measures 6½ x 9¼ inches.

Article Excerpt: “With eight wheels, all of them powered, the Army’s latest amphibious vehicle, the Drake, can outride the heaviest surf.”

Shown on bottom of page is the first 2 1/2-ton Duck, the 4-ton Superduck and the Drake.”
