Hi Tony,
I take "100% original" as meaning original! How it rolled off the factory floor.
A hood made in Australia is not original for a GPW / MB.
There is no mention in the add that it is a WW2 AIF / 1950's AMF made one.

WW2 Jeep - Willys MB/ Ford GPW Hood- 100% Orig, used condition, open rear window, oblong with rounded corners, two very minor flaws (see pics), does not detract, rectangular hole to allow the jerrycan strap to come thru the back panel, P37 style straps, 100% original, low BIN compared to repros.
It looks nothing like an original hood, the way it is made, the buckles.
I dont have a problem with the hood and it would suit my Aust Army GPW, just the way the seller advertised it.
Cheers
Jeff

Only have to go to Canungra to see how many shades of OD you get with Jeeps . Whats original or what people think is original are two entirley different things

Each to his own I guess
