★ Correct replica for authenticity of your late-model restoration. Manufactured with etched surface and black filled text according to original specifications.
Application
Intended for Willys MB from chassis number MB340000 (production July 1944 until end of war) and French Hotchkiss M201 (1955-1966). Replaces the oval frame plate used until MB339999.
Installation notes
The plate is mounted on the inside of the left chassis rail, directly behind the front bumper, on the frame reinforcement where the front spring shackle is mounted. Fitting is done with two small rivets. Ford GPW vehicles have no plate at this location — the chassis number is stamped directly into the frame rail.
Compatibility
NOT suitable for early Willys MB (before MB122000 without 'MB' marking) or mid-war MB (MB122000 to MB340000 with oval plate). Ford GPW vehicles do not use a frame plate but have the number stamped directly into the frame. Note correct type identification for authenticity.
Historical context
From July 1944, Willys-Overland switched from the oval to the square frame plate. This change coincided with production optimisation in the final war years and was also applied to the French Hotchkiss M201 post-war production.
