Dean, if you get in touch with Rob Love in Shilo, he might be able to point you in the right direction. If I am not mistaken, we went to a yard by the name of Westbourne"s Surplus and lo and behold, laying in the yard were all the accoutroments that were fitted to a 106 RR, less the RR of course. The jump seats, split windshield, mounts etc all there. At the John Adamiak auction in September there was one of these beasts. John's M38A1 was an original RR jeep that was converted to a M38A1. The tell tale signs were there still, such as the side mounted spare tire and all the holes in the rear area for the 106 mounts and hardware.
Not sure where it ended up but I know John considered putting it back to full glory at some point in time. Too little too late I suppose.
