Steyr-Puch badging and mechanical commonality with the Mercedes G

These were manufactured by Steyr-Puch in Austria and wear 'Puch' branding for the European market, which prompts buyers to ask whether any parts are Puch-specific 'unobtainium.' Sellers and owners consistently answer that the trucks are mechanically identical to the Mercedes-badged G-Wagen, and one importer even offers a kit to convert the Puch emblems to Mercedes badging.
