Hi Thomas,
Your 42 GPW (Ford) has an inverted U section front cross member (with a large F stamped on it), whereas the Willys MB has a tubular front cross member, probably the same or very similar to your 46 CJ 2a, (the postwar Hotchkiss jeep from France also has this X member, right the way upto the late 60's,as it was produced using the American Willys pressings). There are many other differences, once you start comparing the Ford to the Willys, as an example, Ford used Willys chassis during 42, due to a shortage of their own chassis.
Hope this helps
Regards
Keith
