Stellan, this is a Dodge Power Wagon, the civilian reincarnation of the wartime WC-series. No doubt Gordon can provide model details.
Due to political pressure on the Netherlands to grant Indonesia its independence, the supply of military vehicles from abroad was curtailed. Therefore the post-war KNIL sourced quite a number of civilian vehicles - it is not uncommon to see vehicles with shiny paint and chrome!
