UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Steve notes that this still has the column shift mechanics, though it also has a floor shift.
“This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A that I bought from a customer of mine. Her husband bought it brand new and I have only driven it to town a few times. The gears are good and tight. It starts just fine on the 6 volt system. The Heater still works and I think they are kind of rare. When I bought the jeep She said that it had not been started for over ten years. After inspection I found thick oil in the oil pan so I removed the pan and cleaned out the old oil before trying to start the engine. At this time I took pictures of the cylinders for inspection. Two of the cylinders have marks where the rings sat over the years. The cylinders will at sometime need to be honed out to remove the small ridges which you can see in the pictures. After I had the carburator cleaned and we were able to start the engine the water pump had to be replaced with a new one and I put a new belt on at that time.
I have driven the jeep around while hunting and totally had a great time. It is like going back in time and looking at the scenery a little longer because you are traveling a little slower.”
This may very well be a VEC. Did you notice in the one picture that it still has the column shifter on the steering column, even though someone has put a floor shifter on the t-90 tranny. Column shifter would have been present up to serial number 38221.
The three data plates and the three on the tree and the serial number of 26738 makes this a VEC. Anything up to 34530 is considered VEC (according to the CJ2A website)

You are right. I saw the floor shifter and didn’t take a closer look at the column. Good catch.
