The flattened D shape was never produced in the USA, marking the "radio Jeep" as one of the African-built CJ clones. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

There are photos of them on a dock waiting to be loaded, so I don't think this CJ-6 was a license unit. Also,its year would have been 1962, not 1955
