from Wikipedia: "Another familiar product from the AM General line was the DJ-5 series—a purpose built "Delivery Jeep" version of the Jeep CJ-5—used in huge numbers as a right-hand drive mail delivery vehicle by the United States Postal Service."
So we should renamed the Jeep DJ-5 of the site to AM General DJ-5, I guess?

Are you sure about that? Wikipedia says:
Quote AM General, which remains an independent company and government and military contractor, sold the rights to the Hummer name to General Motors in 1999 but continues to build the vehicles for GM. GM was sued early in 2003 by DaimlerChrysler, owners of the Jeep brand, for the Hummer's resemblance to the Jeep. The lawsuit was dismissed due to the past corporate history involving AMC and Jeep.

On August 20, 2004, it was announced that Ronald Perelman's MacAndrews and Forbes Holdings company would form a joint venture with AM General's current owner, Renco Group, to give Perelman 70% ownership of AM General. The deal reportedly cost close to US$1 billion.

Though this one is DJ-5A, not DJ-5.

The DJ-5A had a grill that bulged out, I believe this is more likely an original DJ-5

1968-70 7-slot flat grille and blinkers under the headlamps of a Jeep DJ-5A Dispatcher. A 1971-84 AM General DJ-5x (with x = B to M, depending on the year and the engine) would have a 5-slot bulged grille and blinkers on the fenders:
