M151 A1 picture/suspension oddity.

Hi Listers,

In a book called "The Vietnam War", published by Crown of New York in
1979. An Illustrated history.

One plate shows an M151 A1, registration number: 2N 9769, in service with
the 716th MP battalion and positioned under the walls of the US Embassy on
the 31st of January, 1968.

Curiously, there is no one in the jeep, no pedestal mount, or anything else
that could have added weight but the rear-view clearly shows the rear
wheels in the vertical plane.

Anyone have any idea how this might have been?
Thanks
Gavin
