Yep, that's a Ford script jeep. Willys did the same thing on the back of their jeep until the govt told them it was a war, and they shouldn't be advertising their product in such a manner.
The script jeeps are more rare now, so if you know where it is, I suggest you buy it back. And then sell it to me of course. :) HA!

The 43 Ford I had had the word FORD stamped into the rear, left of the tail gate above the tail light. Was this Jeep also known as a script Jeep?

Both Ford and Willys were contracted to make military Jeeps. The Ford is known as a GPW - G= General purpose, P=80 inch wheelbase, W= Willys design.
Ford identified their product by placing their logo on all the parts, and I do mean ALL. Bolts, heads, seats, etc.
So, yes, Willys and Ford made the same product at the same time.
