In case anyone wants to take a crack at my HMMWV, here goes! I picked this 1994 M998A1 off of GP. Their original stated location was Crane NSWC, but ultimately it was located on the SW side of Indianapolis on a private holding yard. Inside, I found paperwork indicating that it was in custody of H-Co, 113th Brigade Support Battalion, IN ARNG for some repairs and possibly could have belonged to that unit. Apparently NMC for an inoperable transfer case. Additionally, I found a shipping label that had a small part (power steering bleeder valve) that was addressed to a building in Camp Atterbury, plus I found a waterproof notebook page that had artillery/mortar firing orders with coordinates that land right in Camp Atterbury's ordnance area. Everything with a date on it is circa June 2015.
Now comes the photos.

Things that are standing out to me on the outside is the insignia that looks like a grenade on the brush guard, the camouflage storage rack brackets (only the ones for the front), the post on the right side of the windshield frame (convoy beacon?), odd hole patterns drilled for antenna mounts (and the fact that they're also drilled out on the sides), grounding lug on the right-rear, bolts with wing nuts on the tail gate, and the filler panel covering a hole where an aux fuel tank filler would be (not sure if this was commonly pre-cut or not). Inside, there's some extra holes on the A-Pillar and B-Pillar that were peculiar... please let me know if you can tell what any of these were for.
In case any of this helps put the pieces together, included inside, but not photographed, was a sling load spreader bar, used to help the lift ropes stay off a shelter; several small parts to include new-in-package aviation panel dimmer lights (probably used on other equipment), NIP AN/PVS-14 control knob, NIP PS bleeder valve; four segments of AS-3900 antennas; a dirty killflash for an Aimpoint Comp M4 (promptly cleaned up and put back into service!); and a bunch of worthless junk and loose bolts. There was also this odd bracket, which looks kind of like the plate from the beacon & siren kit shown in the TM, but I'm not 100% sure...
