Canadian Chevrolet Maple Leaf 4x4 artillery tractors?

for that.

We dont know how many 4x4 Canadian Chevrolets were ordered by KNIL, but we can now assume the number of vehicles must have been relatively high.

-Considering KNIL knew by the time of ordering that they would need vehicles for 1 how battalion, two field, two mountain and three AA, that would have meant at least 8x12=96 trucks (though some in the 6x6 version), not counting reserve and depot units.

-Considering KNIL had ordered another howitzer battalion (16 Bofors 105mm guns), you could add another 12 vehicles (not counting reserve and depot guns).

-Considering that dozens more 80mm Bofors guns had been ordered (part of which were mobile guns, part fixed), as well as a total of 72 40mm Bofors (of which eventually 40 were delivered, not sure if all were mobile), add another couple of dozen trucks to the list.

That would mean that total needs for4x4 and 6x6 tractors would have been at least 150, max 200!

Since truck deliveries from Canada (or the US for that matter) would not have been stalled like the European gun orders (due to the war and neutral policies of the Swedish govt), I would say that KNIL received all Canadian trucks as ordered.
