I guess not. Bantam has lights on fenders and grill is wider.

Well, it says willys on the chassis of the jeep and is written in an embossed sorta way. What's the difference anyhow

Does not the bantam have nine slots? The others have seven or so. atleast the original ones.

the bantams had 11 slots on them, the willys mb /ford gpw sported
9 slots and the post war civilian jeeps or the cj series sported seven.
cheers

[p.s. google "bantam jeep". there is no way they can be confused with
the later jeeps]

That is not a bantam.
This jeep is modified to look like an MB for sure. Moreover MB's are LHD.
Which year and model ?
