Maybe like the Chevs, CKD and/or crates of parts arrived quicker then they could be assembled so while it is truely a 1942 model it may have sat crated until 1944. I have AWM photos of crates of Chevs still staked up in 1946/47.

The other may be that while they were originally factory built (or designed) as 4X4 Ford was short of front axles for some reason (maybe a ship sank) and used spare 'I' beam axles to make them complete vehicles.

Just my 5cents worth.
