That sounds like the basic M998 HMMWV to me (or M1038 if it had a
winch), with a 2-door cargo area cover and the troop seats installed.
The 2-door cargo area cover is higher than the windshield and B
pillar, unlike the 4-door cargo area cover, which is the same height
as the windshield. The soft doors just lift right off anyway, so their
presence or absence doesn't mean much.
