Hotchkiss M201 jeeps. Basically a French-built copy of the Willys MB that the French Army used until not that long ago. Most parts interchange with the MB/GPW.
From Wikipedia;
The Hotchkiss M201 was the standard light utility vehicle used by the French army from shortly after the second World War until it began retiring them from French service in the 1980s. It started in 1955 as a World War II jeep built under license and in many respects was little changed when production ended in 1966. The last M201 was taken out of French service as late as year 2000. In France, it is usually simply called "La Jeep".

I would expect many of those are not MB or GPW but Hotchkiss M201's from the early 1960's, looks like JabJeep and I were typing at the same time.
