First off, welcome to the forum.
It doesn't appear that anybody has yet addressed your inquiry.
V175898 should've shipped in the late 1942 or very early 1943 time frame.
N.Y.M.I. = Navy Yard Mare Island, with the 731 being a property number for that facility. Typically this marking would be filled in with white paint.
I think I speak for all in saying we'd certainly like to see some photos of this one.
