I run into the same problem. I am often asked if my Carryall is a Willys. That does not bother me too much. At least I have never been asked is it a Jeep. When I say it is a Dodge they are surprised. I must admit there is no brand or logo on the outside of the truck.
I was watching a clip on a stunt show the other night. Tehy were trying to blow up a jeep and make it flip through the air as if it had it a mine. Every other word was the Jeep this the Jeep that. At first all I saw was the gound and how they were doing the explosives. Then across the screen goes a 5 hole Budd wheel as the position the Jeep. Finially they pull the camera back to show the actual movie shot. It was a M-37 and not a Jeep. Go figure.
