Do you refer to the Kuebelwagen built in Wolfsburg in 1946-1946, the
replicas like Koobelcars, or the type 181 produced in the sixties ?

-unless it has two 50 mm round holes at the front of the floor-pan (to let
water out) it has a civilian floor-pan.
-If it has an accelerator pump on the carb, that is not original.
-If the distributor has a vacuum-advance, it is post-war.
-gear-box without reduction gears at the axle ends: post-war civilian.
-front axle with tall shock-absorbers mountings: post-war civilian

All the accessories (crank, jack, etc) and the black-out lighting equipment.
