I cannot find any evidence of any Defence Aid or Export 4 x 4 US COE Chevrolets, and therefore if there was any GM element then we are talking of GMC chassis. I will undertake further research.

May I just add that I am lapping up this new information. I found recently that the Polish Army used 1939 Model armoured Chevrolet trucks, assembled in Warsaw by Lilpop Rau & Lowenstein. Also that Afghanistan imported Chevrolet trucks and then some Fords from India. By the way this may explain the presence of a Ford Indian Pattern CMP gun tractor in Kabul...it seems that the Afghan Government ordered military vehicles from Ford and GM in Bombay. Some of the Chevrolets were taken over by the Indian Government as there was a ban on exports because of concern at German involvement north of the Khyber Pass.
