Something odd about the rear end of the jeep in the 3rd pic

I think 3rd pic is a Bantam BRC-40 (Mk 2)

Bill, I noticed that as well.Looks like some type of box has been attatched to the back panel.

Dinant. Same town where the Germans in May of 1940 threw the French Forces aside on their conquest of western Europe. Different story and outcome four years later.

This is the Google peg-man view from the location of the 2nd photo: https://www.google.com/maps/@50.2605431,4.9120994,3a,75y,320.32h,70.21t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sVmOV4WUlwtkVfQXE8sZUnw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

It was likely made from an upper floor of the building on the corner: https://www.google.com/maps/@50.2605431,4.9120994,3a,75y,112.88h,106.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sVmOV4WUlwtkVfQXE8sZUnw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

For more about Foy, Belgium and the Battle of the Bulge, see Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foy,_Belgium In World War II, Foy was heavily occupied by German forces during the Battle of the Bulge. The American 101st Airborne Division held the Bois Jacques just outside town. After being relieved by George S. Patton's Third Army, the 101st retook the town. The assault, spearheaded by Easy Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th PIR, was depicted in the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers.

About that rear end of the Jeep, I agree that it ia a storage box attached to the rear pannel.
