Vincent,
The exterior surface looks just fine, and original for a late 3A.  The interior surface appears to have an extra skin.  Possibly added to strengthen it.  Actually, that's not a bad idea.

We should be able to see the stamped embossments on the interior surface.

Nice.� From what I can see, it looks to be very complete under the hood.

The tail gate area looks a bit odd.� What's happening back there?

Tim, I don't know what you mean by odd, since this is the only one I have to go by, but there is basically nothing in the tub rear of the steering wheel.

Nice! I love seeing flatties with the windshields down. I also like how you can see how it sunk into the earth (dirt on tires). Mine did the same thing. Ahhh old neglected Jeeps. Good luck with it!

1953. From what I have researched, it is one of the last made by Willys Overland before Kaiser bought the company.

Hi there neighbor!� I live in Madison Co.

That looks like a nice starting point for a project.

I wonder if green, then painted white was a fad in this area?   ;D . .  Mine was originally tan,  then emerald green,  then white.

Your also appears to have a nice matching set of tires like mine.

Recently retired. My wife and I took an interest in this cj3a in a family member's "collection". He was happy to let us take it and start cleaning it up. I will start tinkering with it once this cold spell snaps.
