C8AX production

Is the last one the Coupe GT version?

No, just has a spare Chev Lend Lease cab sitting vertically on the back:
David, you said you suspect that GM NZ may have assembled two batches of C8AX. Do you think it's possible that the whole month's production for, say, April may have been delivered or handed over on 5 May 43 and the following 4 weeks production handed over on 5 June 43? That is, the date is not the actual date of assembly, but delivery? Another possibility is that the date refers to the date that a consignment of CKD kits was received by GM NZ for assembly. I can't see GM NZ assembling hundreds of trucks on one day, having a month off and then assembling another couple of hundred. I think it was more likely to be a continous stream of assembling CKD kits.
