Military grade is a baseline. At least in the US, you can almost always get better civilian versions of military gear. But military grade gives you a degree of compliance where you can be certain that it meets certain basic requirements for durability and interoperability. The last thing you want is out-of-spec MOLLE or other critical components.
coming from someone who used to work in a factory producing "military grade" components.. there is a lot more scrutiny, and spec compliance when it's a military job then some other civilian customer. doesn't necessarily mean the part is better or of a better material, but it's definitely "up to spec" as they'd say

Actually, the Unimog had been around since 1949, different models over the years of course, but all with portal axles.
