Sorry mate, I was away again and didn't see it. It's interesting to note (in a pedantic way) the differences in the Aust Army Nomenclature plate on the E-bay Studebaker and this one:

G'day All, this is going to sound dumb but are the nomenclature plates off the same vehicle?? everything appears to be the same except for the description at the bottom?? cheers Dennis

No, Dennis, they're off two separate Studebaker US6 trucks. I thought it odd that they were stamped out differently and had different descriptions for vehicle model.
