Neither! Ford US didn't make any RHD Trucks, this is Canadian made, so welcome to MLU!

As Cliff has said, they were assembled locally by Ford Australia, who fitted the roof hatch and grab rails. Cliff has mentioned MCP, this stands for Modified Commercial Pattern, which basically entailed fitting the Roof Hatch, a Pintle Hook (towing attachment), Radiator Guard Bar, Balloon Tyres, and a PTO air pump to the side of the gearbox. Body types are as listed below:
