The wheelbase will confirm whether it is a 1938-9 or 1941-2 [133 versus 134 1/2" respectively]..I just do not buy it as a 1939 Model since the front end, bumper, and cab screen all scream 1941-2. Can it have been a diverted NEI order? Unlikely, but it could have been a diverted SINGAPORE delivery. Singapore were supposed to have received CMPs for instance. The reason for the discounting of a NEI order is because a Series 1530 is a Canadian designation but who knows..it could have been a US supply and Holdens just designtaed it what they thought it should be.
