My entirely complete PE-197 1944 had the later round guages, and the 2-speed T-case but I never used it. It still had the original tyres on it when I got it I believe they were 1050x20... Man were they heavy !!! I replaced them with NOS 900x20 military.. the originals were about 3 times as heavy
I only ever had to use the 4WD a couple of times, once in very soft earth with the truck sunk to the diffs.. both times the 4WD worked superbly.
It always started and drove like a dream; a regrettable sale for a number of reasons
.
