Default F is foreign ie RHD

C29WQF:

C = commercial vehicle
2 = 1942
9 = 95 hp engine
W = cab over engine

Q = Canadian War Department quad truck, 4WD
F = non-domestic Canadian, ie Foreign, so Right hand drive.


The same applies to the "F" in the engine/gearbox combination number in both Canadian and US production, eg

2G37711F - the F denotes configured for RHD chassis, ie non-domestic (RHD) production. Domestic production was all LHD.

BB18F6763448 - US type number where F is for non-domestic production, ie for foreign sales for RHD chassis.

The 'F' does not mean foreign to Australia, ie LHD - it is a Canadian/US identifier on export items from North American production, no matter where they are located in the world.
