Not sure myself, the figure is pretty well published .Us attendees at the first or second Corowa were given a little booklet that outlined the GPA history in Australia, still have my copy.
I do recall speaking to an old chap on the phone , he was at Deniliquin and he had a WOt2 I was interested in buying. Anyway, he told me about his adventures driving GPA's from Bandiana to Deniliquin just after the war, he said a business had purchased a large bulk lot of GPA's and he drove many of them . Most of these Deniliquin GPAs had the bow chopped off and were sold to farmers as farm hacks
