I agree, and the majority look like they came of the Chevrolet WA's when they were replaced by Ford F30's, which begs the question where did the aero-screens for the WA's come from?! Did Chevrolet make aero-screens? Or are they locally produced/acquired, or through the official spare parts system, but from which parts list?

The numbers look about right with 37 WA's originally acquired, losses due to enemy action would make that number in the mid to high 20's, add in screens from the Ford Pilot cars, a few through official channels and reclaiming off derelict/abandoned trucks would make about 40 trucks which is about a third of the 1533X2's. That tallies with the photo's. A lot of possibilities and a rather crude process admittedly!

Just need some dimensions to work with, and hopefully some cleared photos.
