I am from Pennsylvania, USA. The jeep came from Dover, Delaware a couple of years ago. The first coat of paint on top of the original OD coat is a dark royal blue. I am guessing that it was used by the US air force after the war. I do not know how old Dover Air Force is, but that is a possibility. The numbers seem to be painted on with a stencil. Robert de Ruyter informed me that it was probably accepted about June 11, 1945 and the hood number would be close to 20714622. Thank you for your reply.
