Put your VIN in this website and it will tell you more info

See if you still have an emissions sticker under the hood, it will tell you if it was 48 states, california or export.

I think that the car was probably imported from the US, possibly by another military member.

My aunt used to own a mustang that she imported from the US while she lived in the Phillipines. The phillipines are considered for the most part US territory so importation is easy. Her Mustang was a 70s model as well, but it melted when a volcanoe erupted.She ripped off the front emblem before she had to leave it. That is all that survived. Poor little pony.
