IIRC, this was Bantam's answer to the army's request for a 1/4 ton 4x4. Ford and Willys were in the competition and Willys won, I think the army really merged all 3 into the same design. Should have been the same size.
 
Someone wrote a review of the Asuka/Taska 1/24 Bantam. Oh wait, that was me. Don't know if it survived the transition to the new site.

There was alot of backroom politics involved in the selection of the Jeep over the Bantam. Things that wouldn't pass muster in today's procurement processes.

Cheers,
Rich
 
There's all the articles you've posted Rich. Maybe Saul or I can fix the image links given time.

The write up is still there.
