low quality pic of 1947 Dutch transport (AAT) company in Indonesia.
Note the different truck types used simultaneously for lack of (standardised) equipment.
Due to the political situation (US and Australia and others would of course not supply military stuff to a country that was violently repressing an independence movement) the Dutch bought civilian trucks and jeeps, often in non-mil colours to avoid embargoes.
On the picture, some Chevy's, a Ford/MH and then CMP's (pic can be found in J Boer, Koninklijke Olie in Indie).
That's enough for t'day...
