I believe it was built in 1945, though it could have been as early as 1942.

It was not built within the contiguous United States, but in an organized incorporated U.S. territory.

I need to correct

Built by US Air Force servicemen ?
Yes
Correction: It was built by members of the regular U.S. Army, not the U.S. Army Air Force.

Thanks !

I reckon the photo I've posted has been mirrored, as there's no reason for an American Jeep to be RHD.
