Willys Overland wasted no time gearing up for civilian Jeep production as soon as production of the military MB ended at the end of august 1945, as announced in this September 1945 edition of Yank magazine

Apparently Willys bought back new surplus Jeep engines from the military, renumbered them and fitted them to the first civvy models
