C'mon.  You can do this, be specific - which means more than I.C.E.

C.mon, you can do this. Whatziss?

An early attempt at a tail rotor, until they realized it actually had to be on the *tail*...

4 cylinder Willys Go-Devil engine...looks to be in an MB.

Stand-by power source for the Ronco Rita-Matic 2000....

A go-devil is a flathead, this is obviously an overhead valve. Also, this has curved fender wells, where a yeep has flat fenders. And the deadest giveaway of all, this is a right hand steer.

Wait, I didn't see the pittman arm, this is left hand. My mistake.

And it's not a landrover, LR engines had intake and exhaust on the same side.

Good catch, Og.  You're less wrong now...  ;^ )

I stand corrected...looks like a Willys Hurricane...except the one in my CJ3B has the oil filter canister on the other side

 Wyllis Overland. Post-World War. Oil bath air cleaner. Partial fold down rear seat. Looks like a beach Boys woody, but all metal.  ;)

  Either that, or a Sovet GAZ.

where have I seen that before..?

Let's see...

Datsun puts the exhaust manifold on the same side as the intake...

(wide hood, four banger engine, looks like a four-core radiator...)  maybe that russian thing, but I'm thinking it's a Japanese design (right hand steering, wrong engine for a land rover-even a Series one.)  Exhaust manifold's design indicate pre-seventies engineering (or early seventies), the radiator placement almost looks like an early Wagoneer or Land Rover, but the motor's likely less than two liters, and those "Spark Plug Wires" look suspiciously like Glow Plugs to me-they're too thick to be sparkplugs unless you've got some real high amperage units, or there's a LOT of extra shielding there.

Two belts, but provision for additional on the pulleys...

I'm thinking maybe soviet after all...or Chinese.

Nay, I believe 'tis a Japanese weapons-carrier built by Mitsubishi, possibly the one they based the Isuzu Trooper or Mitsubishi Montero on.

Time to put up another pic, clearly.  So, check the post above this one.

While I'll admit the visual similarity (somewhat, and only vaguely) to an M151 the deeply recessed radiator threw me. But wottaya expect from a tanker, jeeps are something engaged with coax.
