Yes, as Rob stated C-30-102-000/CJ-004 Installation Instruction GPMG Mount on Truck, Utility, ¼ Ton, 4x4 M38A1CDN2 and CDN3 - Change 1 - 1976 does indeed show a M151A2 with the MG mount installed parked in the background of two of the LETE photographs.
Within the Installation Instruction there is also the Note: This kit has been tried on the M151, 1/4-Ton Truck and found to be unsatisfactory without substantial additional vehicle modification.
