Does not look like it, the FMTV series has round holes for the headlights, this one looks like it possibly had rectangle headlights but I have never seen a US military vehicle with those type of headlights.
I am a little confused, if it does not use any power after it opens how does it know to close when the power is removed?, also the run power is present during cranking otherwise the engine would not start.
You should wait until you actually have a HMMWV before trying to re-invent the wheel, it is quite possible the HMMWV you actually buy will have a perfectly good working alt.
There will be enough things you have never thought of that will keep you plenty busy without playing the "what if" game.
I took my sisters Kubota UTV 1140 that I did a top end job and a ton of maint. back to her ranch near Concan today and stopped by Lytle and picked up a few ammo cans on the way home, they only had 3 HMMWVs on hand all lowly R1s, the tan one has a rebuild motor and the steering is a little wonky...
You will need a 5 point security torx drive bit to remove the screws, I usually set the bit in the screws and tap on them with a small hammer to help break the screws loose.
LEDs are run by a power supply built into the housing, there certainly is no guarantee that the power supply is/was designed for multiple voltages.
Your clue was they fried as soon as you put 24V on them, the moisture which may very well not be water could have been released from the components...
I got the DuraVee back in the shop today and started to make hoses, cutting the holes and installing the bulkhead pass-through was a PITA, my arms are just not nearly long enough to work both sides of the bulkhead, but we goterdone!
Plenty of foot room for the passenger.
