I think you would be safer to say that a UN jeep in Cypress would not have/should not have, never had the GPMG swing arm. Without some photographic evidence, or at a minimum some anecdotal evidence, then you are just making another fantasy piece.

The ammo tray is also a fantasy item. I put one on my own Jeep, and it was because the M1919 I shoot uses 8x63mm. Since it comes in a larger box than the standard 7.62 NATO can, I had to make a tray to support the larger box. Normally a NATO can hooks onto the support bar on the side of the arm and is kept there by a 1' wide cargo strap.

On the one I recently sold, I think a previous owner liked my idea and copied it. It is certainly much more secure than having the can bouncing off the side of the standard mount.
