Some very nice touches here. Lots of stowage, I like the extra armor on the doors.

However, thhis is an M151A2, most easily identified by the large front turn signals and drop down on the front fender to accomodate the larger lights and one piece windshield. The rear tail lights were larger, too.

The versions used in Vietnam, the M151 and M151A1 had a small front turn sugnal, a flat fender and split windshield.

Looks great! Was Vietnam the last war in which US troops were permitted to display the Confederate battle flag?
