Correct me if I am wrong, but it isn't a 1945 grill. It has the post-war 7 vertical slats as opposed to the 9 slats on both the MBs and GPWs.

Mark, I wouldn't based it on the grill, or even the windshield, as those are interchangeable. I've seen plenty of WW2 MBs and GPWs with CJ2A grills. Dexter

In addition, there actually were 1945 civilian seven slat grilles, as the CJ-2A was launched in 1945. However, those grilles had a different type of front parking light setup (larger holes than the later model CJ-2As). That said, like Dexter notes, this could be a mix of anything -- the 1945 title might not even be original to the vehicle. If I had to guess, I would say the body is a CJ-2A (drain holes and gas inlet), the windshield frame is an aftermarket CJ-2A (no willys stamp). Beyond that, I couldn't say.

Dexter and deilers, you are both right of course about the parts and other stuff. Have a good one!
