All,

The RAAF operated (ie registered as RAAF property) various numbers of the following Willys models:

CJ3B
CJ5
CJ6
FC170
Gladiator J2600

.... and at least ten vehicles stated as being 'M38A1'.

The Army obtained two M38A1 for trials: described at the time as 'the current model 1/4 ton truck in US service.' The projected price per unit was A1500 pounds (which would include 12 months maintenance spares, I assume)

.... so on further consideration, I'd suggest that the '10' M38A1's said to be manufactured/assembled locally were all for the RAAF, and the two for the Army were direct imports under the ABCA inter-service agreement, and don't count in the local assembly total. Just a thought....
