This is so much fun.  I want to think Daron for posting and bring this thread back to life.  Sometimes, "clarity" is a long time coming for me.  Jabez Love was a salesman and he sold me.  Take a look at this picture from a 1950 ad.  In small print the picture does say September 1946.  Even though I have a copy of Love's brochure (https://www.farmjeep.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Love-Hydraulic-LIFT-HITCH.pdf), I assumed he sold a modified version to Newlin and Green.  Now I want to know more about what Newlin and Green were doing with what Love had sold them.  

So while I'm revising (my version) of history, is it safe to say that there were 3 "Jeep approved" lifts - Newgren, Monroe and Stratton?
 
Thanks,

Just to let you know I have (sort of) answered my own question in another post in the General Discussion area.  Thanks again to all of you keeping me on the straight and narrow.

I realize cost savings was the reason for not doing this, but it’s a shame the CJ did not retain the glove box and the rear fender well storage units. Those, in conjunction with the storage area under the passenger seat, would be quite handy to have.

I agree, I think about the fender storage, it would be nice to have. I can't imagine why they got rid of the glove box, although the fenders on the rear of the cj2a were slightly smaller than the MB, so it's a tad more understandable why the tool boxes were omitted

And note that the MB on the right appears to have not one but two vacuum-powered windshield wipers. Must've been Omar Bradley's personal jeep...

Was it a cost shavings or the fact that a decent heater would not fit in the same space as the glove box? I tend to think it was for the heater.

There would still be a rather large amount of fenderwell storage in any flat fender or CJ5/6 if utilized.  The MB/GPW boxes don't come close to utilizing the full potential there.  I boxed in both sides when putting my 12:12 plastic car kit together for my 3B tub, along with making a large glove box.  That (and some under hood storage) has kept all the spare parts/fluids/trail gear out of the bed.
