From what I understand; the 17 digit  VIN or vehicle Identification number did not exist before the early 1960's.
What Willys Overland used is called a serial plate number.

Here is some of the early  basic info archived here:

Things happen over the years.  A previous register may have found a DMV issuing a VIN "because it needed one," so pictures will help identify what's going on.
