Yes . The Americans may have got the truck from the reverse Lend-Lease scheme and then loaned the truck back to the RAAF ?

Those 'U' numbers - they were usually seen on locally assembled Aust. pattern vehicles i.e. RHD staff cars . But anything is possible. Going through the AWM 126 you see some vehicles that were transferred to the U.S. forces in Australia, including CMPs .
