Default markings
Back in 1976, I bought a slatt grill Willys DOD 31 12 41

The bonnet had a RAAF number on it, but beneath was a blue W-USA number , it also sported a white star on the bonnet , near the windscreen end .

For some reason, you don't often see US stars on US vehicles in the SWPA and in Australia . More often, they only have the numbers without any star. Does anyone know why ?
