Apparently, there was also an AM8, as well as an AM7, AM715, and AM720. It was a militarized CJ8, which could possibly be the vehicle featured on the Lebanon page. I am not sure of any other body styles that this vehicle had besides ambulance, but there probably was a personnel carrier version.

1981 was the when new HMMWV was put out to tender and when AM General was split from AMC, is it posible the CJ8 you are looking for was a Hummer test bed or prototype?
