That makes sense. The Jeep engine was around 120 cubic inches IIRC and the A4 is 60.

I almost bought an old Coast Guard surplus surf rescue boat about 40 years ago. It had a 4 cylinder Gray Marine engine, but some of the castings had JEEP embossed on them. So, some WWII boats did have 4 cylinder marinized Jeep engines, but they were not the A4.

Anyone know if this is true?
