Very interesting! Would you happen to have any context for the photo above? I have never seen it before, but I believe 'RNMC' stands for 'Royal Netherlands Marine Corps' who were fully equipped and trained by the USMC during WW2. I noticed your hood seems to be lacking the holes for the spare tire mounting bracket, is there any sign they are filled in? -

I have seen this photo printed in pre-Photoshop/AI books so unless it has been altered since I think it's original. -

I wonder if that isn't something created using photo shop or similar. Having done a lot of heavy load crane work on site when building 70 ton furnaces made up of all sorts of shapes and sizes of steel the cables don't look right to me. The way it's rigged with only one rear cable would mean that jeep would be out of balance even more so with the driver sat on the left hand side. Doesn't look correct to me, -

It's amazing to me how one can look at something multiple times before noticing something. This evening, while perusing the posts on this thread again, a realization just kinda just jumped out and slapped me. The old "tarnished silver appearing" fancy AMC device in post 47 is now identified as a collar device. If you look at the 1922 pics in post 57, you can see the device (not clearly) on the right side (wearer's right) of the collar on the white shirt and also on the other cadet in the khaki shirt. -

An un-attributed Military Police helmet liner, likely late 1950s or 1960s vintage. No unit identification. -

Eodtek is spot-on with his identification. The 308-11 was designed to booby trap a canteen loaded with C-4. Information is very hard to find on this program, the best source being a monograph done by Mike Weber 15 or 20 years ago. The Swimmer Weapons System 3081 was an advanced booby trap system developed at China Lake. Part of that was the group of 7 different 308 special devices. The basic device was the 308-6, an anti-disturbance that could be coupled with other devices such as timers or pressure switches. The others were intended for use with fuel tanks, flash lights, cameras, M16 or AK47 magazines, canteens, etc. These were all low production units intended to be left behind by SEALs, MACV/SOG and similar elite troops. Most were actually deployed in SE Asia with remaining stocks destroyed in 1979, according to Mike. So yes, few made and almost no survivors today. Great item. -

Wow I can’t thank you enough, this is gonna make the project. Hopefully the others of the company will take the time to read through these when I print them off for the history binder. It also fills in a bunch of details for my timeline. -
