Hmm,
Yes, but could it be a G4100 supplied cab/chassis in civilian clothes in 1941-42?

Hate to be "eigenwijs" here, but if it really turns out te be a crazy thought I will definitely leave it right here...

1. The first picture (if I understand the specifics at Vehicles for Victory website correctly) was for sure an earlier type (pre-september 1941) since it has CHEVROLET on the engine sides. This is a 1941 G4100.

2. There was no Dutch unit on Java (or in the whole NEI) before and after WW2 that had a number starting with 76. Nor did the Japanese Java Army have any.

3. Below you find some pictures of a US Chevrolet Factory in 1941 , as reported my the NEI mag Orient in 1941. It shows a terrain full of G41000's and below right you can see chassis/cab lines and far below right civilian style chassis/cab (with similar chrome lining as above).

4. In the documents I received from Mr Leland Ness (that I passed on to you David) there is talk about the first 300 4x4 Chevy's to be delivered chasssis/cab CKD. As is stated in one of the docs, diversion from october 1941 production had been "effected". The NPC was negotiating for the rest of the order (another 612). Both batches of diverted vehicles as well as still to be diverted needed permission under an Act of the 76th Congress.

But I agree there are tons of other possibilities and the second vehicle might have been a post-45 acquisition from civilian stocks...

Kind regards,
