Hi Mike: Here are some of the responses sent for the most part directly
to me. Sounds like Jeep fans are almost as fanatical as VW Bug fans <ducking>

Paul, there are several differences between the 151, 151a1, and 151a2.
It's one of those purist things!!
***
Large built in directional signals etc.... Mechanical fuel pump Composite
lights in rear in large openings. safety steering wheel etc...
***
The A1 has rear A arm suspension and swings up and down from the center of
the vehicle. The A2 suspension swings front to rear and is a solid metal
piece.
***
The 151A2 has large turn signals and brake lights, the 151A1 has small ones,
and early 151's had no turn signals and small brake lights.
