Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Jeep with Star Appliques Update

Earlier this year I ran a series on Payton Products Army toys. In March, a set of four Payton vehicles that had star appliques was blogged and one of those vehicles was the ubiquitous Jeep. The Jeep I have from that particular set had only one star applique on the hood. A second Payton Jeep in my collection also had just one star.

Then, a month later in April I acquired another Jeep with star appliques but this one had two - one on the hood and one on the rear body. Sooo, the question is: was this original or did someone get the rear star sticker from a different toy and added it on?

Normally I clean my toys as best I can before photographing, but I got lazy with this one - sorry!

Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 91 Sets: Joy Toy #168 Recon Patrol

This set was culled from Kent Owen Sprecher's Toy Soldier HQ website before the site crashed. I hadn't noticed it before, but when going through my photos it was apparent that two out of the three vehicles in this set were Payton! The truck and tank are Payton, but I'm not sure who originally made the Jeep.
