To be honest this one could be one of two Jeep derivatives, either the military version of the CJ3-B (M606 (1953-68) or the J3 made under licence by Mitsubishi (1953-98) Willys CJ-3B (M606) The Willys CJ-3B replaced the CJ-3A in 1953, the same year Willys-Overland was bought by Kaiser Motors. The CJ-3B was turned into the M606 military jeep (mostly used for export, through 1968) by equipping it with commercially available heavy-duty options, such as larger tires and springs, and by adding blackout lighting, olive drab paint, and a trailer hitch. Shipments of the M606 militarized version of the Jeep CJ-3B, exported for military aid under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program, accounted for a substantial percentage of the limited CJ-3B production in the 1960s Mitsubishi Jeep J3 The Jeep was introduced to the Japanese market as the Jeep J3 in July 1953 after Willys agreed to allow Mitsubishi to market the car. The first 53 were built for the Japanese regional forest office and around 500 J2s (with 12 volt electrics for the National Safety Forces. Mitsubishi continued knock-down production of vehicles derived from the CJ-3B design until August 1998 with a total production of around 200,000. Short, medium, and long wheelbases were available, as well as a variety of body styles, and gasoline and diesel engines.[40] In Japan, it was sold at a specific retail chain called Galant Shop. The original J3 was built only in LHD, with later models from 1961 conforming to Japanese RHD standards. The original J3 and its derivatives were equipped with the 2.2 L (2,199 cc) F-head Hurricane engine (called JH4 by Mitsubishi) inline four-cylinder, originally producing 70 PS. A locally developed diesel version (KE31) was introduced for the JC3 in 1958, originally with 56 to 61PS. Later versions used 4DR5 and 4DR6 (J23 turbo) 2.7 litre overhead-valve diesel engines.
