Keep checking with experts. As far as I know, the MB/GPW winch (late war
only) was capstan, as was the winch for the GPA (amphibious Ford jeep). The
winch I have seen on M38 and M38A1 is a horizontal drum winch.

be a reasonable price for it in US dollars? Does anyone have any pictures of
these winches that I can look at?
