I suppose so, but my source says nothing about it!
All I have is the name of the car, a year when the picture was taken and the name of the location

Based on a Jeep?

No - the tires are too small. I suppose this picture could have been taken in occupied Japan, so this would be based on something from that country.

I give you a hint: the photo was taken in the Pacific region...

Not on the Philippines, though.

Another hint: for a special reason it's very quiet there. (in contrast to San Diego)
