The G-7016 was the Model NH 'Dump Less Winch', 1942. The pic might be of a DA contract, G-7116, Model NL, or Model Cab' G-7103. 1942.

Knowing that the NEI received Chevrolet trucks, and that GM of Canada were selling a GMC 4 x 4 to the Malay States, I think that the Maple Leaf 4 x 4 trucks were sent out from Antwerp before the invasion in 1940. Regrettably we know that many Chevrolet-DAF trucks were seized and then used as Umbauwagen by the Wehrmacht. However two at least 1940 Chevrolet-DAF gun tractors were shipped to England and then used by the Dutch army in the UK with Dutch-series WO census numbers. Bart published a photo in his article in W&T on DAF. The NEI trucks could have been either factory Canadian exports or the DAF-Trado conversions. We need to see a photo to check the drive shaft system.
