The number is correct for the US Army, in that a standard US Army Jeep rego number does start with the "2". It denotes the 1/4 ton.

But guys... you forgot to mention that it was also used by General Clark when he broke out of Anzio ! Eisenhower had lent him his Jeep for a short while ...as he was conferring with Stalin on the next phase of the Allied offensive !
