Bill, the Alexandria-based Ford company imported British, German and I believe Canadian vehicles. However they would only have imported the smaller British models. That means that they would have imported a range of Canadian and Fordson trucks.
As regards GM Near East, we know they imported from Bloomfield, New Jersey Boxing Plant and these were CKD chassis/cab or chassis-only. The works then produced whetever was required, namely heavy-duty trucks, buses, station wagons, cars...General Motors World February 1940 had a small item on a large order for the Egyptian Government of Chevrolets custom-built in Alexandria. This was below a piece on GM Suisse-built Chevrolet four-door sedans that had been converted, 1938-40 as artillery tractors. At least one survives!
