I think the Army got some from the US Army during the Korean War, or slightly after. Maybe our jeeps came back from there?

Don't confuse the registration papers with reality. The issue is how clever was the clerk at the license bureau on the day. When I registered my M38A1 (as unfit for the road, but registered to me), the lady didn't have much to choose on the pulldown menus. I think it is a 1970 Jeep CJ5. My M151A2 isn't registered quite as accurately as I'd like, but that is how the system works.
If it is registered, that's enough. The folks here will know what you have.

It is definitely a Willys used by Canada, the original owner removed the data plates from the dash and re-painted the rest of the jeep, then replaced the plate without painting any of the plates. He did, however, paint over the little plate in the tub, which a Ford built one wouldn't have. I got a ton of paperwork with it, the old guy saved everything. I am 100% certain that the jeep was made by Willys, based on all the documentation. The original owner recorded the info from the plates, the paint colour, and a bunch of other stuff, but he didn't record the CAR number. There is no number stamped on the frame, so we may never know it.

Terry, we are not talking registration papers here. We are talking reality of having actual Willys data plates attached to our Jeeps. Mine is 100% US although it does carry a stamped CFR in the left front frame rail.
Clint, are you sure that you have no CFR on the frame rail? I know mine took a lot of searching and then some sanding to bring it up. If it wasn't stamped deeply it is possible to be covered in rut scale or paint.

100% certain, my frame was not rusty at all, and paint stripper revealed only shiny steel. I sanded it a bit, and even applied a few drops of gasoline just in case, but nothing there.

That is quite possible as I have heard this before.

Willys
the Toledo vehicles do pop up , I also owned one of these, ex First Hussars CO's vehicle, there has been no CFR list found as yet of the M-38's and M-38A1's , how or when the CF aquirred these is still a very big mystery , bottom line is they are Canadian and we did have them,
