David, do you know what other vehicles Opel exported to Priok?
I think this picture is from April 1940 at Andir AFB (Bandoeng). It should then be an AAMG Platoon from APLA 2 (2nd Heavy Weapons Coy) from Tjimahi.

The autolettes were small trucks fitted for transport of troops. There were benches on the loading floor. The troops were sitting with their backs against the cab, i e travelling "bakwards".
