This picture is from a 1966 outing and shows the FC Tour Jeep about to enter a short tunnel on the road from Telluride to Imogene Pass and onward to Ouray.  Even though the bumper guards are flipped over, this picture does have many similarities with my Tour Jeep.  One is the custom Radiator Guard that was built for this truck.  I have over 160 different pictures of The San Juan Scenic Tour Forward Control Jeeps and this is one of the only ones that highlight this type of guard.  Most of the other guards I've seen in the pictures were similar to the stock type that Willys offered on these trucks.  One other note; this truck also has the dealer's emblem from Montrose, CO where the vehicle was bought from.  It is mounted right above the word "Jeep".  This was also found in just a few pictures and the same emblem is still on my Tour Jeep.
