They are civilian CJ5s. Giveaways are the lack of blackout lighting, the small gas tank opening, the civilian turn signals on the grill, and the Jeep script on the sides. There are lots of other indicators as well like the lack of holes for the military bow brackets, lack of tow rings, civilian suspension shackles.....

Surprising that they would install winter tires only on the back. Different size tires on a 4 wheel drive like that will cause a lot of drivetrain windup (which of course = wear and poor control) when in four wheel drive.
