Not neccessarily David. I would think that even units built under CDLV contracts may have been shipped directly from the US instead of coming via Canada first. I do have a picture somewhere of jeeps arriving in the Kitchener Ontario Canada area during the war for assembly here.
I am not aware of whether the units shipped direct to Canada were destined for use here, or whether some were assembled from the CKD form and sent overseas assembled.
Out of 3000 units built on CDLV 505, 1500 did stay in Canada with the balance going to the UK.
The picture with the crate in the background with the USPB number has a CDLV 505 contract jeep in the foreground as near I can tell.
