What's the origin of the phrase 'Doesn't know **** from Shinola'?

This phrase is typical of the barrack room vulgarity of WWII, which is where it originated. Other “doesn’t know” phrases, also mostly from the military are, “doesn’t know his *** from a hole in the ground” (or elbow, or a hot rock, or third base), “doesn't know enough to pee downwind”, “doesn't know whether to scratch his watch or wind his ***”.
