Correct. The eager Beaver is actually a M34 I think as it has single rear wheels as opposed to dual like on the M35. I think the later boxes from the late 70`s sold it as a M35.7rounds wrote:It's 1/35 and very old. It was first issued in 1957! More of a collectors item now.
Revell is slowly reissuing Monogram vehicle with the Lee and Hedgehog Sherman so far. It would be nice to see them reissue the Eager Beaver, as it was a simple and robust model with many working features.
There is a cool book about the history of Monogram. Nice to have if you like the old Monogram stuff...

Just off hand, it is much smaller than the 1:32 FOV CCKW so my guess, as I always thought, is that it is 1:35.
The Monogram book lists the first 1:32 military vehicle as a PZKW IV in 1970. They did a snap together half track and jeep in 1:32 back in 1976, which I never heard of. The Patton, Cargo truck, M29 Weasel, Jeep and 37 mm gun and the two halftracks were 1:35. They also did a Patton and a Tiger I in 1:48 snaptogether.
The Tanks and armored cars which followed were all 1:32. The book I have has limited images of the box art, but the few shots of the early MVs does not show a scale(at least on the front or top) but they were listed as 1:35 on the production specs also published in the book.
