Dave, my guess is that DBA is “Doing Business As”… so it’s not the original, but one serving that purpose… an alias or substitute. With that gage cluster arrangement and no tailgate, it’s very unlikely that’s the original tub anyway, unless highly modified.
…just my $0.02
That’s a possibility. I’m familiar with the phrase, but never thought about it being plied in that way.

There is an Austrailian company called Quadratec – Disc Brakes Austrialia – also known as just DBA. They sell jeep repro parts including tubs. Its not unreasonable that an Oregonian jeep was restored with one of their products.
