Default What was lend-leased and what was purchased?

Australia also had heaps of Lend-Lease stuff that was dumped/buried/burned, but why were these CKD Studebakers spared? Were they hidden from the Yanks? Were they not even noticed in stores? (Corporal, what's in those boxes?) Mystery!
The question is were they actually Lend-Leased to Australia or were they part of normal supply contracts which were paid for?
There are many other US supplied WW2 vehicles here as well. Under what arrangements were they supplied? Same goes for aircraft such as the Lockheed Hudsons, C47s, the US-built P51s and others...
