I was just wondering if it indicated African delivery or was one of the hundreds (thousands?) of replacement engines sent to Africa and subsequently brought back to be progressively fitted as required to many vehicles? Maybe African spec engines were included in direct Australian CKD type deliveries at this time?

Looking at web sites the prefix "A" indicates a "normal" 216 motor built in Flint Michigan and the prefix "F" indicates a 235 engine built in Flint Michigan. Obviously not used together as in Rod's truck.
