Default Australian Ford Staff Cars

So we know 2 facts:

-there were some 1-ton Ford conversions in Australia and staff cars
-none of them was "exported" to the NEI

But since there was a growing level of military cooperation between Oz and the NEI they might have been delivered under some sort of military aid agreement as was sought in many areas by the NEI with Australia.
After all, there is proof that Oz delivered Vickers 7.7 mm MMG to the NEI and possibly other stuff.
At the AWM search site I did not find any details on Australian military aid to NEI, but I am sure there was some.

For instance read the article by Bussemaker in the AWM journal.
