The rights weren't for the Army to "award," though. It' just how things were done back then.The Army actually awarded Willys the rights to build the Jeep after the war. Even though the design was based on the Bantam Scout Car. Ford was instrumental in one major way though. They developed the stamped steel grill because it was faster to produce than the grill slats on the early MBs and GPWs
No doubt the fog of war played a role.
