        Well, not all HUMVEE's had these. At least my early one (# 351)
did not.

      Possibly in some areas but not all. I have never seen this in the
Michigan units. All I have had or seen ( I dissembled over 35 MUTT's) just
had chain without any cover. On my (former) M-211, the chain was just
welded to the drivers seat frame!
