So I’m buying this 1953 M38A1, I’ll attach pictures. Can anyone help me identifying what exact model it is, and possibly help me finding it’s serial number? Thanks

Welcome to the 2A page Thumbs Up... you'll likely get some decent feedback from the knowledgeable folks here-

That said, have you tried over on the willysmjeeps.com forum?

Looks like a regular M38-A1, the S/N tag will be behind the passenger seat on the slanted face of the rear wheelhouse just above the floor. The body looks nice!, many mods on it like the aluminum radiator, I see no fan (?)... 12v conversion, also the springs have been moved over the Axel!... Interesting it retains many of the original parts you seldom find on an A-1, like the towing shackles on the front and the original seats!.....

Welcome to the page, JWehlingUSMC!

There's a reason it's called Ol' Unreliable
