That is very useful info, Mike!

I've often heard about the Dutch buying vehicles in Australia, but never seen any concrete evidence. The Dutch took over much equipment from the British-Indian Army which occupied Indonesia before them, another source were the ex-Canadian Army dumps in Holland, and bought new vehicles from civilian sources like Willys and Marmon-Herrington. Apparently the hunger for vehicles was so huge they were buying up vehicles in Australia, too.
