Nope, that's an original Kubelwagen. The originals had a number of different configuration hubcaps, although most got lost eventually or tasked to other uses, (heating water, etc. ?).

Here are photos of a number of originals. I've spotted at least four different configurations of hubcap.

BTW, the still I posted was from the set of "USS Sea Viper" a movie released about two years ago that went straight to video.

You can see me handing the U-boat commander his orders in this trailer:
