1945 Jeep Saw Reference In Popular Mechanics

On page 41 of the April 1945 issue of Popular Mechanics is this photo and caption. Curiously, it doesn't appear the jeep has lights; it looks more like the jeep was partly illustrated.

This photo was in the same issue:

Looks like you would get some kickbacks from that technique.

MC that is what I thought too. Maybe a hand-built grill/headlight protection system. However, what's up with the front rounded bumper? I suppose they had to use that low pressure slick tire to keep the belt from slipping off. ND would not work. Finally, is that an anti-decapitation wire cutter attached to the front bumper?

Hey!! This might be the first time Duct Tape was used as a multi-purpose tool around that front screen!! Maybe??

I assume the rear end must also be jacked up or the rear driveshaft removed.
