Yes it is. Part of a quite elaborate conversion by GM Holden for the USMC.

There are a few more images in Lloyd White's Evolution of the W/O MB Jeep, Volume 2.

I believe there is an original restored one here in Holland, but sadly I haven't seen it at an event yet.

Indeed there is, saw it back in 2014 during the XXX Corps event (it didn't take part). It is a superbly restored example, see an album with pictures of its restoration here:
