Application

Reflector for mounting on mudguards and rear body. According to SNL G-503 parts list: used on both Willys MB and Ford GPW (see Figure A item 1 and Figure B item J). Oval version was primarily applied from late 1942 / early 1943.

Installation notes

Fastening with two screws at 101.6 mm (4 inch) centre-to-centre spacing. Mounting holes on mudguards are vertical (12 and 6 o'clock position); on rear panel, holes may vary (10-4 o'clock or 2-8 o'clock position depending on left or right side). Mounting hardware and retainer ring included.

Compatibility

Oval reflectors were used on late WWII jeeps (late 1942 onwards) alongside the earlier round version with Corcoran Brown or Stimsonite lens. Both types (round and oval) coexisted during the 1942-1943 transition period. For early Ford GPW (before late 1942), round reflectors with 'F' script are historically more correct.

Historical context

The oval red reflector was part of the standard lighting and signalling equipment on the Willys MB and Ford GPW ¼-ton 4x4 Command Reconnaissance Truck. Listed in SNL G-503 Government Group 2203A (Miscellaneous Body Chassis and Accessory Group – Reflectors).
