M606 probably, but didn't Mitsubishi also license build something very, very
similar? If I remember correctly, they were also supposed to be exported
when they came up surplus, so it's possible you've come across one of those.
I'm a bit weak in this aspect of Jeepdom, so others will certainly know
more.

Vancouver, B.C. (check out "Good Morning, Vietnam." They run around in a
bunch of 'em throughout the film, though I can't recall whether or not they
had split windshields.)
