Default Maple Leaf

The grill displays 'Chevrolet' and the bonnet MAPLE LEAF. The door handle is strange.

The VR 'brand on a tyre'

Advert poster on the Montague Street Bridge pylon - Chevrolet

The VR van is a Lend-Lease Chev, fitted with blackout lights and the imported cab with the single piece door glass. Some of these LL Chev cabs have round military instruments with Jeep like panel lights.

A Lend-Lease Inter K series with military style tyres - the cargo body looks similar to a GM-H made unit.
