The reflectors used on the 1941 and 42 Ford GP 1/4 ton was a glass
unit and not plastic like the later GPW/MB. Many GP's will be found with
the "marble" type of reflector that Gordon describes. In fact three of my
GP's have these reflectors on them. These were replacements for the
original "bulls-eye" type and were added by the using services and not
factory equipment.
The "marble" reflectors can be found at many old car (civilian) swap
meets.
