Default Dealer's plate

I recently had a chance to look at a Ford F30 CMP in New Zealand that had a Dealer's name plate on the engine cover. While it's probably rare that such a handy souvenir would remain on a truck for 60 years,what makes this unusual is that the dealer's address is in London (England, I presume, not Ontario )
How rare would would it be for a surplus vehicle dealer to ship a truck half way round the world to a country where there were already plenty of surplus trucks going cheap? Could an English buyer have come to NZ to buy up surplus trucks and sold a few here and taken the rest home?
