I took apart about 30 M-151A1 and A2's several years ago. Many of them
that did not have ROPS kits on them had seat belts just like you would find
in a commercial truck, right down to the chrome buckle. I still have a
photo of them in a MUTT.
Of course this was done by the unit and not by the factory.
