It's interesting you should bring this up, I'm planning on watching it soon and I'll be sure to check out the scene.

It had to be either an MB or GPW because the CJ-2A had a tailgate with the tire on the side. Here's a pic from IMCDB



There's several threads on Jeeps in movies but this is somehow appropriate given the holiday season.

Not trying to hijack your thread but I just watched White Christmas and they have a WWII Jeep (MB or GPW) a couple of times in the movie. The first time is in the beginning, somewhere in Europe near the front during Christmas (I'm guessing 1944). The next time is when a guy's driving what may be the same Jeep after the war. It's obvious it was "civilized" by a shiny green paint job, pioneer tools removed and side mirror replaced with a larger rectangular one. They kept the blackout headlight and it's funny, it looks like they left the pioneer tool tiedown straps in place.
