Local supply of Jeep spares

[Mike K]

I'm cleaning up the rear springs that were fitted on my Jeep when I acquired it.

It looks like my springs are the 1950s Australian made replacements. Ian F. in Sydney mentioned the Army fitted these locally made springs as replacements for worn out or broken original springs.

The replacement leaves have plain edges, not bevelled, and the clips are different to the wartime originals.

I found a govt. Gazette listing for Jeep spares to a spring business in Melbourne ( Leyson ) I'm wondering if this business is where the govt. purchased the Jeep springs.The Dept. Of Supply issued various contracts to Leyson for other items.

Another 1953 gazette listing was for: Canvas jeep hood covers. The covers were supplied by a Queensland business. Were these "hood covers", seat covers, Jeep tops or trailer covers ?
