[MV] WC-52 Questions

I am purchasing yet another basket case from the Alabama woods. This time
it's a WC-52 (3/4 Ton Weapons Carrier w/winch - WWII vintage). A few quick
questions to those who have these vehicles.

1. Mine is missing the winch, but I've got two 1/2 tons with winches on them
when they aren't suppose to have them. Can anyone tell me what is the winch
make and model number for the WC-52 series?

2. Is there a serial number on the frame as in the early jeeps? Took a quick
look at the data plate yesterday, but fighting wasps - mosquitos - and snakes
at the same time and didn't look too hard. Couldn't see serial number on data
plate, at least where I thought it should be.

3. On both the left and right side there appears to have been something
mounted on the outside of the cowl, below the windshield, and forward of the
doorway. It has a hole about 1-1/2" in diameter and a dark spot about 10" in
diameter below this hole. In the few photos I have of these vehicles, I
haven't seen anything that looks like it is suppose to go in this spot. Any
ideas would be appreciated.

4. I'll dig it out sometime this week, unfortunately my job that pays the
bills for my toys is running 7 days a week 24 hours a day trying to meet a
construction schedule. I'll let the wrecker guy fool with the wasps and th
snakes this time.

Thanks in advance. Tom Campbell - Birmingham, Alabama USA
