Decode these markings M715

[sail78385]

Picked this up the other day. Can anyone decode it for me? Also is there such thing as repo M715 tailgates? Cant believe how perfect this one is.

The 3F#### is your registration number

5A is 5th Army
I think it says 46GP (which is why folks should type it out in addition to the picture) which is 46th Group.
Headquarters 47 which was probably one of the vehicles within the logistics section.

Caution Do Not Drop Tailgate is a code term meaning this vehicle was actually part of a super secret organization within the CIA that acted like they were USA and in fact were DIA coordinating with the NSA developing new TTP's to pass off to the IRS for being the ultimate PITA.

Hope that helps.

The star means that it hauled Bob Hope at a USO show.

I have not seen a repo tail gate for 715.

Notice the "No Step" stencil on the bottom lip.

Notice the "No Step" stencil on the bottom lip.

That's the older version of "Don't Tread on Me".

A repro tailgate would not have the word Jeep embossed unless someone wanted to spend a lot of money for the license, and the stamping dies for a very small market.

I think, a repro tail gate makes no sense. To my knowledge there are more tail gates / bodys available on the market than chassis of the M715.
