I'm guessing it's an XM151? It looks like a version of an XM151E2. Seems the Army experimented with wider tires...hence the flares.
~or~
It could be someones recreation of an XM151. I would think the data tag would tell?
See this: http://www.g838.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4060&sid=356ef95e8211b01fde95806991b98d26&start=15
IF its a real XM151 You should DEFINITELY snag it ASAP!! 
Here's a pic:

If you go to that G838 site I posted they have a couple of other pictures that look VERY similar. |

Aren't most of them "repaired" or "restored" by the time we get to them today. 
Anyway, kinda cool. I just love old MV...every one of them has a story to tell and part of the fun is digging it up. |

You never know what you might find out there! I found a year ago or so what I believe was an experimental high flotation M38A1 in a Pennsylvania junk yard. It looked just like the pictures I have seen.
Unfortunately, the seller was clearing out the junk yard and two more unrestorable M38A1's had to go with it which was just to many jeeps to buy. |
