there is a french book ( "JEEPS" I think, but I can be more accurate
tonight, when back home..) that picture trailers copies: all of them have
significant differences from the original.

I can send you JPG from the book, if you like..

the only european copy that's ALMOST like the original is the german one.

BUT...we are not talking about a COPY: mine seems an ORIGINAL one, "Willys"
brand, BUT built in Italy, and built in 1960 too!!!!

I guess that the only way to konw the true, is to find the CONTRACT
(reported on the data plate) references !!!
