The clip-crafted by fan Ivan Guerrero–uses scenes from the 1940s Captain America serial and gets its Iron Man by subbing in the Commander Cody character of “Radar Men From The Moon” fame. Both serials were produced by Republic.

You can get a breakdown of all the characters who cameo in the trailer here.
