I have an uncut 1966 M151A1. I’m not sure how it escaped being torched in half. There were three models, easily visually identified because the original M151 had no turn signals, the M151A1 had the small fender top turn signals like yours, and the final M151A2 had large composite signals mounted in dips in the fenders. If yours A1 has the three belt generator, your engine may be from a later A2 model, every M151 and M151A1 I’ve seen had only two belts, the three belts debuting with the A2 model in 1968 I believe. But I could be wrong. Another way to tell is the fuel pump. M151 and M151A1’s had an electric pump that was inside the gas tank and it ticked fairly loudly when it was running. So not only were you sitting directly on top of 17 gallons of gas, it was ticking! A bit unnerving at first. The A2 replaced the electric pump with a mechanical pump mounted on the side of the engine like most civilian cars of the day. On the M151 and A1 a vacuum pump resided in this engine side location to run the vacuum wipers, not needed with the A2’s electric wipers. That is all just meant to be informative and certainly not intended as an offense to yours or anyone else’s MUTT! A motor pool did whatever was necessary to keep them operational, including engine swaps, and so do we who now restore and enjoy them.
Possibly the museum had modifications that could have made them mistaken the variation? I personally don't know. I'm just the camera man trying to learn how to be a better camera man and to bring awareness to the awesome things these museums have on display. Hopefully, if you're ever in the area you could stop by their museum and inform them of the information you provided. Thank you for sharing.
