BAE will sell them, but there is usually a minimum order quantity and you will have to wait a bit to have them made, but they will be fresh!
As far as age of the items, It's hard to tell, I've seen a few trucks come into my shop that had the mounts replaced by the government and were just a few...
Engine mounts are S&S military and are proprietary. I'd avoid NOS or surplus as they are often years or decades old, and rubber does have a shelf life. That mount you have pictured there is 8 years old...
They likely do not and are just displaying Meritor's part information. Last I talked to Meritor, which was about 4 months ago, the R&P is a good part number with no stock and 3-6 months to have manufactured.
Part numbers don't exist in their system. Meaning that the differential was designed to have those gears and a part number was assigned to them but no parts have been produced.
I spent an hour talking to Meritor tech support and that is the right part number, however he said that the vast majority of those diffs had the 3.70 ring and pinions. I did query him on the ratios less than 3.07.
I've hit 61 with stock gears going Downhill with a tail wind. 65 isn't possible without the 6.14 ratio axles unless you increase the max engine RPM which is probably not a good idea.
The 6X6 is a good truck, but it will eat up the rear tires with city driving. You will also need a CDL to...
I've found that parts availability on the LMTY is only surpassed by the humvee. Parts are more easy to come by than a 5 ton or a deuce. My local caterpillar and Allison dealers have had everything needed in stock. I've had to order U joints and seals which took a few days, and most cab parts...
M810 differential is not what the LMTV's have. The FMTVS use the RF611 axle. I wish they did however as the M810 has a far better selection of ring and pinion ratios.
I'd look into having the cab dipped or blasted. Often there are 3-4 layers of paint, bondo etc underneath and CARC likes to peel off in sheets over time. Dipping will also strip all rust, but make sure you reapply rust preventative once it's stripped.
