This has the tool indents, column shift, and the squared bolts for the bow holders, but lacks the full floaters it should have if it is a ’45. Maybe the rear end was replaced?

“1945 willys CJ2A VEC “Very Early civilian” only 1400 of these one of a kind jeep where built. These came with military jeep bodies. But some early changes by willys. One change being they came with a column shift!! 3 on the tree. Jeep runs and drives great!! just jump in it and go! This is a great little jeep. I drive it all the time for fun. also comes with tow bar and spare parts Current reg. and pink in hand! drive it home. price is 7000 obo. dont ask to trade unless you have another military vehicle or are a tire kicker.”
