It looks like parts, or maybe even a whole dissembled Saturn IB first stage is still around in the now closed Space World amusement park in Japan!https://twitter.com/nishinippon_sha/status/1211487742380535808 …

The news article claimed that it might be a Titan II, but the "SA-212" marking is highly intriguing as it matches the Saturn IB serial numbers sequence... http://www.spacelaunchreport.com/satstg2.html

The second stage of SA-212 is in fact the very one rocket stage converted into the famous Skylab, and the S-IB stage is presumbly scrapped. Well, maybe not after all....

That tankage and the "United States" marking seems to match that of the individual tankages for later built Saturn IBs. See here for a photo of the last one built, SA-214: http://www.spacelaunchreport.com/sa214.html

Unfortunately it appears that since the park closed all those parts above have already been scrapped.
Das Laden scheint etwas zu dauern.
