Jeep steering wheel identification

Evening everyone 

I need some help to identify a Jeep steering wheel, I am sure this subject has come up before but why not have a fresh thread, it’s currently fitted to a January 43 gpw which I know is wrong, I think it’s either an early 42 or possibly cj,  it has Sheller embossed on the back and groves around the outer edge.

You wouldn't believe what an emotive subject early jeep grooved steering wheels is with some people, which is why most are stopping out of it (try reading the G503 website to see how upset people can get!)

Anyway, I'm pretty happy it's an early Black solid Sheller wheel, Mould Number 5, from a 1941 to early 1942 Willys MB, or an early 1942 GPW, after which they were revised to solid Sheller wheels made from green Tenite acetate until around mid 1942.

Best Regards,

Adrian
