Does the 1/24 AMT/Ertl Daisy's Jeep have the engine and chassis that the old AMT "Korean War Jeep" does?

Daisy's Jeep is a reissue of the old Daisy's Jeep and a different kit than the Hogan's Heroes Jeep/Korean War Jeep.
Her Jeep is a CJ-5 or CJ-7 and the Korean War Jeep is a CJ-2 (has flat hood). Her Jeep does have an engine though.

Actually, I was wrong on the producer, it's MPC, not AMT. (I'm not home for a few weeks so I didn't have the box)
But the MPC Jeep is a CJ-5. It's a pretty good kit actually, even if it's misnamed on the box. That's why I put the "Korean War Jeep" part in quotes. Still, I'd like to know if the Daisy's Jeep has an engine or not. It''ll be burnt out, so incorrect tires/seats won't matter.

The MPC kit is now the AMT kit and I stated in the last line of my reply that her Jeep does have an engine. I've got the original Jeep instructions on my computer.
