Here is an interesting old video from Brazil. The movie, which is narrated in Portuguese, shows a variety tools that were used with early Jeep CJ-5’s. These tools, such as the auger, trencher, and plow allowed the Jeep to be used not only as a method of transportation but also as a workhorse on the farm.

Awesome Willys Style 1980 J54 Mitsubishi Jeep In Canada

And the mirrors were different, along with weird turn signals. I read into the post and discovered that it is a 1980 J54 Mitsubishi Jeep with a 2.7L 4RD5 diesel. Of course, since it is a foreign Jeep, it is right hand drive.
