Photo of Armored Jeep in Luxembourg on eBay
Good shot of the hood number.
“This is an original WWII photo of GIs and their JEEP in the center square of a small town in Luxembourg as the inhabitants celebrate liberation. The town band has assembled in the cobblestone square to formalize the occasion”
Photo of jeep in Maneuvers in Louisiana on eBay
This is an interesting one. Note the driver’s side exhaust where the gas tank should be. It also might have a column shift. The low swoop of the side body suggests this is a prototype. The rivets along the ‘swoop’ and the handle position suggest this is a Ford GP body, yet the fenders look later and the slope of the swoop isn’t quite right. Anyone have thoughts on this? See the Ford GP image below for comparison.

1951 Photo of General Walker’s Wrecked Jeep on eBay
UPDATE: I’ve added some more pics of what might have been General Walker’s jeep. It shows some of the modifications made to it.

http://www.bevinalexander.com/korea/korean-war-photos.htm Brigadier General F.W. Farrell, Korean Military Advisory Group chief, confers on August 18, 1950, with Lieutenant General Walton H. Walker (seated in jeep), Eighth Army commander, during the height of the Pusan Perimeter battle. (U.S. Army photo.)
This video shows McArthur decorating Walker. Note Walker’s padded jeep seat.
This photo shows what I think is McArthur’s jeep (?). It isn’t quite the same as Walker’s jeep, but does have the same handle positioned over the cowl.
===================
General Walton Walker, aka “Johnny Walker”, was killed as a part of this jeep wreck. What’s curious to me is the mod to the area under the rear of the jeep (gas tank??) and the modified steps (don’t normally see that). You can learn a great deal about General Walker here:

1943 Photo of Soldier on Bike with One Tire on eBay
It might have only one tire, but I suspect that soldier wouldn’t trade it for the jeep … well, maybe he would. The jeep’s a slat grille MB.
“1943- While his buddies ride in jeep, U.S. soldier uses bicycle, which only has one tire, and it’s flat, to get around on newly captured Makin Island.”

This is NOT an original photo. Instead, it’s a copyright free photo printed and then sold.
1951 Photo of UN Jeeps at Kaesong on **SOLD**
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
That front jeep appears to have a variety of mods.
“This 8″ by 10″ photo of, UN Jeeps At Peace Talks House in Kaesong , has an attached caption, dated Jul 13 1951. This is a working press photo, in the course of use by a newspaper the photo might have small tears and creases relating to multiple handlings.”
1943? Ford GPA Photo on eBay
The note at the bottom dates this March 8, 1943, but initial tests of the GPA were in spring of 1942. Perhaps this is just a driver learning how to drive one.
“You are bidding on an original press photo from a published newspaper. The photo is 11.5 x 8.”
