I think the stamping is The Tire and Rim Association logo.

Andrew,
To my knowledge, all the original jeep wheels were 4.5" wide (both 16" and optional 15" diameter).  I suspect other vehicles could have had rims that narrow.  An initial search last night didn't find anything similar to the image of your posted manufacturer stamp.

It would be interesting to learn what it is.

My '49 CJ3A came with one non-standard wheel: 16"x4" (yes, 4", not 4-1/2) 5 bolt 5-1/2 bolt circle but with only a 3-3/8" center hole. The center hole was too small for it to be on the front.  It has four internal "bumps" for hubcap retention. The wheel manufacturers logo stamped on the inner surface next to the tube stem hole is a circle with an A in the center, an 8 under the A, and a reversed P to the left of the A, and another P to the right of the A. I will attempt to put a drawing of this as an attachment to this.  Question: Did Willys ever use a 4" wheel, or if not, who did?  I can find nothing in my Hollanders manuals to answer this.
