    The front grill versus the light look unusual also.

    This is from the Willys Mediterranea assembly line in Palermo, Sicily. The car sports Palermo plates. The rail modification was probably aimed at pitching it as a replacement for the many wartime MB/GPWs still in daily use as railroad tenders/trolleys. The last known conversion of a wartime jeep for rail use took place in 1984.
