It appears to have a replacement body.

    James,

    Note the dash. It looks similar to an M-38 dash (glove box on the right and an insert in the middle for gauges). Now, note the lack of a battery box lid on the right side of a cowl. An M-38 body would have a lid there. This suggests to me that this is an aftermarket body.

    When MD Juan first started making replacement bodies, they only had an M-38 with which to work. The bodies resembled M-38s at first (but lacking the battery box lid). Over the years, the company was able to afford to retool the body stamps so that replacement CJ-2A bodies looked more like 2A bodies, etc.

    I hope that helps!

    – Dave
