Expanded metal side guards

#1
This is my first post so I hope I get things right.
I picked up this bile at a garage sale last weekend and I wondered if anybody might know what it is.

got a gote?

it sort of looks like one in a reno.craigslist ad. That's why I labeled the image as a pakjak. I was told it was a military bike but from what I can find that seems unlikely.

What I am interested in finding out is what kind of transmission it has and how it works. Did anybody besides Cushman build transmissions back then? whenever when was. I have some other images of the trans.

Did Tote Gotes have the expanded metal on the sides?
