Hi David,
Maybe you do not have this one: Mr N. Galas who during 1942-43 assembled 10 Chevrolets a day for the Allies in Stanleystad, Belgian Congo.
I can imagine Wonosari looked like this, though on the other side of the planet and better camouflaged!

Enjoy,
Nuyt

Very interesting!
 
That's a new one on me! I had a look immediately at my 1944 GMOO book and there is no mention of any Belgian Congo assembly operation...this looks as though this is what GMOO called a 'Mobile Assembly Facility'. Have you any more information please and photos?
