Default Chev 30Cwt

Help please , I am trying to identify this truck.
I have just bought a Chev (civilian) that looks like a 1942 30 cwt LRDG type.
I have three CMP chevs (C60s, C15 &C15A) they have close similarity's, engine, gearbox, dash panel.
Could this one be a left-over knockdown lend lease from WW2? or am I looking a post war civilian truck.
GM plate; Serial No: 6-1130-35512 P . Engine number XR 140275
First Holdens plate. Body number: 2653 Model 4542015.
Second Holdens plate. Colour DLX..BNGNA Batch No10 Date 47 Month 3
It was bought new in 1947, beige colour with black front fenders.
Civilian instrument panel, 15851 miles showing on the odometer. 700 x 20 tires. Wooden locally built tray.
Wheelbase 134 inches.
Previous owner (from new) says the truck has remained unmodified for its life.
Any comments would be most welcome,
regards, Robert
