Hello Seb,

An incredible find with her original numbers !

Looking at the data plate, with the larger number fonts, and it being stamped twice, means thus jeep was made at tye Ford Factory in Chester, Pennsylvania .

I can see the yellow circle around where tye original star was. Likely it is the gas detecting paint, and your jeep came ashore in Normandy !!!

Best Regards,
Ray
