I think the only explanation is these F15's remained unassembled until the Army needed some more. As explained before, CMPs were shipped
CKD to Australia, which explains those
data plates with only chassis and contract numbers. The engine serial and build date were stamped when these trucks were finally built up from imported and local parts, as late as March 1947 in this case. Remember those Studebakers in crates - weren't they assembled as late as the 1960s?
