Default CKD -v-SUP Australian assembly

I have a suggestion from all the evidence so far that Holden-assembled CKD CMPs had blank plates and the serial number was allocated at the assembly plant in Australia: A,B,M,P,S in theory though I have yet to see any apparent Adelaide or Brisbane assembled trucks. Thus each plant started their sequential number with 0001, plus plant code. However, SUP trucks carried the CANADIAN serial number and dataplates but had a Holden assembly plant stamped on as well when built up and bodied. This also ties in with known South African and New Zealand assembled trucks that carried their "X" codes. I assume that any CKD assembled in Bombay in India also had the relevant "X" code prefix. The same goes for Batavia, NEI.
