EXCELLENT observation on the rear USMC crossmember! That explains everything. The main data plate shows procurement "US NAVY" because that is who buys stuff for the Marines! The main data plate is indeed correct. You have a USMC Jeep.
The registration number from the data sticker is 88B4273, the 88 is code for 1988, and that format registration number is USAF. The truck entered service in 1988, it’s a type B vehicle, and it’s the 4273th vehicle purchased by the USAF in 1988 more or less.
A flaw on the HMMWV vent system is that all the gear cases tie together, this has caused plenty of problems when something goes wrong in one place and sends fluid to all the others. As cheap as that poly tube is, I would run separate lines for each gear case to a central point, maybe behind the...

See if you can find this plate behind the driver's seat on the sponson. The serial will be there. Hopefully it will match MD51570. I think the MD27262 is suspect due to the data plate cluster board being green not blue. The serial is also on the engine by the water outlet neck, but it is...
