A small number of Aero Willys cars (1952-54 model years) were made with RHD for export sales.  You will note the dash in this car is a 1952 type rather than the 1954 with all the lever type controls as found on the regular 1954 models.  A similar dash modification was made on the 1949-50 Frazers (and maybe even a few 1951 models) that got RHD using 1949-50 Kaiser dashboards which could accommodate the mechanical components.  A picture of a 1949 Frazer with the Kaiser Dash and RHD appears in an issue of the British car magazine AUTOCAR back when the cars were new.
