Does not look like it, the FMTV series has round holes for the headlights, this one looks like it possibly had rectangle headlights but I have never seen a US military vehicle with those type of headlights.

Dont know the official designation but one drove by me out at Doyle Yard/Sierra Army Depot, heavy heavy armored unit with vee hull, heavier than a SWAT Bearcat.

Thanks for the discussion!

To be fair I was wondering the same if it will fit / bolt on to hmmwv. GP listed it under hmmwv parts, not that that means much.

@Guyfang it looks like there is a tag with NSN / info on it but not readable. Trying to get more info and will report back if I get the NSN / PN.

Thanks for the info @Wildland! Does anyone know what vehicle @Wildland could be talking about?

@Mogman agreed the square headlights seem out of place on an MV. Maybe it’s meant for a civilian vehicle like Ford / Dodge / GM trucks?

Ok I looked it up and it was a Buffalo, South African Casspir mine protected vehicle with Vee -shaped monohull chassis. Says USA has 400 in inventory in various configurations.

Looks like allot of iron to be hanging on the front of a HMMWV even if you could make it work.

That puts it to rest! Great work identifying this bumper @Wildland, @NDT, and others.

Are any of these trucks even in civilian hands?

What would you do if you bid on three of these?
