Well here are some pictures of my project, I bought this 46 from Munkjeep.  Keep in mind, I'm learning how to weld on this jeep ha-ha.
Here's the skinny tires on it

Looks like a Willys MB body tub for sure. Welding just takes practice. I've been practicing for yearsLOL. You have to hold your mouth just right to get a good weld. Oh, and the wind has to blow from the right direction too! John

That does look like an MB tub.  Does the frame have a circular plate behind the front seats?

As for welding, I find it helps to try and balance on one foot.  Make sure the light isn't too good and use an old fashioned, non-auto darkening helmet. I have also tried sacrifices - usually clothing, but sometimes skin - works for me.  LOL

Looks great! You got a great start there, WWII body and looks like at least one solid rim!  You need a military grill to go with it!

Let me give you more history, the jeep is a salad or frankenjeep.  Its a 46 chassis with an mb body on it.  It has a cj2a gas tank and a fuel filler sticking out the panel ha-ha.  The rims are not solid and are from a cj2a.  A guy from work blasted them for me and then I painted them od green.  No plate for a machine gunCry.  It runs good and I have replaced almost everything on the brake system "not the drums".  I'm still looking to trade or get decent money for the windshield off this so I can get a cj2a windshield.  I would even take something that is not as nice as my cj3a "nothing rotted or incomplete though".  I find if I close my eyes I weld better ha-ha.

Here are some more pictures, I decided to make my own braces because of being on a tight budget.  They turned out decent, nothings better than professional though, I need to learn how to cut a straight line in metal ha-haWink.
