Bob,
I have an old copy of the Milt. Jeep Club of Queensland's club magazine. In there is an article on the US6 in Aussie service, by Ross Prince. It states that approx. 1,200 were allocated Aus. Army regos and of that the total number of Reos is approx. 85.
Reo Motors produced a total of 22,204 from 1944 to 45, LwB without winch.
I know of a restored Reo in Sydney, had a drive of it once in Corowa, it was converted to right hand drive, but the gear lever was still angled to the left!
