Wouldn't the stampings use the cryillic alphabet or maybe a chinese alphabet instead of english lettering?

It all looks homemade to me. The hasp on the little storage bin attached to the leg is of British origin, like used on the bren/enfield chests and 100 other British commonwealth boxes. The automotive steering box is another giveaway. The poor welding and sharp edges of the mount are another. The various scratches on the assembly shows little or no paint preparation with shiny metal underneath. I highly doubt it's a military produced item.

The part numbers on the steering box and pitman arm match those on a 67/68 chev truck with manual steering. Se this ebay auction: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324770551343
Well according to the part number I found this on ebay. General Motors Manual Saginaw steering box #5698180.
