Are they actual DUKW's, or replicas? There are several features that are distinctly un-DUKW-like.

Default Seattle DUKWs gone out of business

Company had an unfortunate incident last year resulting in multiple fatalities, the final straw of several problems apparently.

Courts awarded $123 Million in compensation to the victims.

It looks like they transplanted the DUKW bodies onto newer chassis.

But they don't even look like DUKW bodies.

Compare the two below:
