It does NOT cover the Mickey Mouse Ear (MME) camouflage pattern BUT the principles are similar. The MME simply has rounded edges that look like the ears of Mickey Mouse.

Illustration from Wheels & Tracks magazine No. 1 showing a Canadian contract CDLV 505 jeep being camouflage painted in the Mickey Mouse Ear camo pattern in September 1942.

Colin Stevens' 1944 Willys MB jeep painted in Mickey Mouse Ear Camouflage. I have since repainted the markings using the light blue paint and added the centre of gravity stripe on the left side.
