Ebay find... Oxygen tank setup

WW2 WWII AAF Oxygen Tank Presidential | eBay

Does this oxygen tank setup sound like it came off a WW2 trainer aircraft?

I see "1-57" on the tank and what appears to be a date on the inspection tag of "1-62".

It's possible that this setup was used in a WWII era trainer (like a T-6 Texan) but is about 12 years newer.

The tank is stamped 8-42 and 3-49 also 1-57.

All I could see (and I'm on a "smart" phone) was the two "1-57" notations, one stenciled on the tank and the other on a certification label at the neck of the tank.
The other date I saw, was the penciled "1-62" on the larger paper tag.
I may have missed the hydrostatic cert. stamps on the tank.

Just a caution...I'm not sure advertising ebay sales is permitted on the forum.

That could be WWII. The oxygen regulator and oxygen hose date from that time period. The oxygen mask is an A-14, a standard WWII type. It says USN on it and the tag says NAVAIR. I guess that is a "walk around bottle" intended for portable use aboard aircraft. There is sticker saying it was tested in 10-54 at NAS Corpus Christi TX. Another sticker says it will become overage in 1962.
