Hi Gordon!
Only the Willys MB and the ferd GPW made it to production. Since the grill is obscured in this view, it is nearly impossible to tell, however many of these Jeeps show up in Dodge photos from the Mound Road Plant so my guess is GPW, since the Willys plant was in Ohio. After 1942, when the Willys MB grill was modified to match the GPW grill, the only casual visible difference was the Ford "script" on the "tailgate", which unfortunately, cannot be seen in this shot.
