A lot of the first 'Issue' of CMP type vehicles to The New Zealand Division in the Middle East were vehicles shipped direct to Egypt under British Order numbers and 'sold' to the NZ government by the British.

A few #11 cab F30, 134in WB GS trucks without the vents have turned up in New Zealand over the past few years. The 'Puddle Jumpers' - the 2lb anti-tank gun carriers (later converted to GS trucks post war) were 12 cab Chevrolets.

From past memory New Zealand took all surviving trucks under their command when hostilities ceased in Europe back to NZ. Most of the GM NZ assembled trucks may have been the C8AX but I am not entirely sure if this is correct .

Hope this helps
