The "hub caps" on your A2 do not have the lifting eyes on them just a dome with a square "block" cast into the top of it. The hub caps used by the Army (& USAF?) had a "flange" with a hole through it that acted as a lifting point for the truck. Your A2 also has an "Army" bumper on it so I couldn't even guess as to who originally owned your mutt.

This is incorrect. Those "Army hub caps" (not sure what they are actually called) were used to tie the vehicle down during transport. There was also a meathod for self recovery using the flange, iron bar and rope. Sorry for the bad info :oops: .
