The US Army did not buy the PW, at least in quantity. The army was pretty much in charge of procurement but apparently they took a VERY long time to get the M37 into production (and an even longer time to get the M43 ambulance variant going) so the Department of Defence procured PWs for military assistance export and for the Navy and Marines who were not going to hang about waiting for the Army to decide what was happening. This also accounts for the PW Ambulance varaints that turn up quite often with navy and Marine Corps origins.

Here is what probably is one of a few bought by the US military for testing & evaluation (because many pictures in Crismon's books come from test facility files). It has even been assigned a registration number, U.S.A. 2362633.
