April 1942. "Fort Riley, Kansas. Signal Corps unit communicating by radio from a scout car during a field problem." Acetate negative by Jack Delano. View full size.
As close as I can figure, the vehicle is a M3A1 Scout Car, one of 20,918 produced between 1939 and 1944.

Internally, the M3A1 had an improved engine and was fitted with a machine gun skate rail. It was the last of this series of scout cars.
