Visible crew/equipment: When Frank climbs into the jeep belonging to Major General Cornell Dickering, the MPs show up at the same time that BJ and Hawkeye walk up to join the fun, and during this scene there's a T-mark (albeit a dusty one) on the ground at the driver's side of the jeep.
Visible crew/equipment: When Hawkeye removes BJ's Captain rank bars from his uniform and then pins it on Radar's knit cap, in the shot facing Hawkeye and BJ the shadow of the boom mic moves across Radar's back.
Visible crew/equipment: When Hawkeye and Radar are in the jeep heading to Kimpo Air Base they drive past the checkpoint, and in their closeups the camera casts a shadow on the hood of the jeep.
Answer: The C-42 was a military variant of the Douglas DC-2. Very few C-42's were built, so it's questionable that Potter would specifically have seen that particular model, but, given his military background, it's not entirely unreasonable that he might use the military designation even when the aircraft in question is actually a civilian DC-2.
