[MV] weasel parts and questions

In part because of all the helpful advice we've received through the list over
the past few months, we're now the proud new owners of an M29C Weasel. We hope
to be picking it up in the next couple of weeks, but I thought I would start
looking for the parts and information sooner rather than later...

While the vehicle runs well, there are several parts that we need to bring it
back to a more original condition. These include:

rear troop seats
muffler
muffler guard
spotlight and reel
front grill
all lights
original gas tank
track removal and replacement tool (I've heard about this, but I've never seen
one)
top
top bows

Any advice and/or leads on these parts would be greatly appreciated. The
vehicle includes several extra parts, including both original and post war
tracks, so we might be able to set up a trade.

I'm also trying to find out more about the winter camouflage on Weasels. I've
seen them finished in both olive drab and white (usually with black patches).
What was correct? I suspect both are correct, but I would prefer to finish it
in the white if I can find any guidelines on how to do it accurately. Are
white canvas tops available and/or original for them?

Thanks in advance.
