Looks similar to a repro.

When installed it will look correct for a GPW. The ring(nut) and the lever with the text IGN is the GPW style but the switch part is a copy of the Willys type ign switch.
To me your switch looks like the MV.Spares repro. They are good and I am sure it will do the job 8)

This is a photo of the original GPW switch. (Link from jeepdraw)
