How did you confirm it was always red? Although it is common to scuff and spray, some people actually strip and/or sand blast before applying new paint.
Having said that, maybe it was a fire truck. In 1954 the M38A1 was offered as the CJ5. If you have one of the last '53s built, it could have slipped into that category. I don't know enough about the differences between CJ5, reproduction and M38A1 bodies to know if it is feasible but another possibility is a body swap.
