M201 No. 12857 (above and left) was rebuilt in 1970 at La Maltournee and later fitted with unusual rear lamp units with side repeaters mounted on the rear wings. This is a genuine conversion and, apart from a recent repaint job, the jeep is exactly as received by the Tank Museum at Bovington direct from the French army in the late 1980s. Note also the need to reposition the side reflectors to make space for the side mounted lamp units. Its Nato markings from the last period of service (now painted over) indicated that it had served with the 10th Engineer Regiment as part of the 2nd Army Corps in Germany, which accounts for the conversion being made to comply with requirements for use on German roads. Alexander Horn (M201 No. 13,287) has confirmed this for me. He explains that these rear lamp units and side repeaters were the standard lamps the Bundeswehr used during the 1960s and 1970s.
