Alaska WWII Jeep Hardtops & the YL-15

Paul from Alaska wrote, "Recently I was at the Alaska Aviation Museum helping a friend assemble his plane when I noticed a very large photo displayed on the wall of the hanger.  As you can see this photo was taken in 1947 at Adak but what really caught my attention were the numerous flat fender Jeeps with hardtops driving on the base.  I took a close up photo of a cluster of these Jeeps even though the image is rather grainy but I thought you’d like to see it anyway."

Labeling these 1 - 5 starting from the left, jeeps #1 and #3 look to have the same top. #2's top is extended in the rear. #4 has no side windows. #5 I can't see as well.

There's a jeep near the top, again with a hardtop.

, which Paul's friend has restored. The plane was built to win a military contract. The wings, tail and flaps come off quickly so the plane can be carried by a 6 by or towed by a Jeep.

The full photo is in the background above the rare Boeing YL-15

Here's an mocked-up example of a jeep pulling the plane:
