MB 403098
This jeep has never been used by the French Army. According to the previous owner, he bought her from the US Army in 1946. She seems to be a rebuilt: the body is an ACM type II with a lot of "Ford" items on it, and, according to its number may be from 1944; the engine being definitely the oldest part of the jeep (est. 1943). I have found, so far, a few bullet holes, mainly on the chassis and on one wheel.
