Hi Robert.
Reos such as the one that you photographed are a Studebaker US6 by another name. They are appear to be identical to the Stude except for the identification they carry.
Studebaker built trucks are identified in four places. Nomenclature plate on the dash, Badge in the center of the horn button, chassis plate attached to outside of chassis l/h side below battery and the word Studebaker cast on the manifold twice in large letters with the company logo between.
The Reo has the first three but the manifold is blank.
What the relationship was between the two companies I don't know but the different manifold suggests that they were sourcing their parts independently.
The scattering of Reos in among the Studes in Australia also suggests that the were indiscriminantly mixed up in delivery and certainly in service.
David
