Lionel, I think your confusion stems from the "Holden, Made in Australia" plate. Holden did not actually "Make" trucks. The components all came from the US or Canada regardless whether it was a car or truck. A certain amount of the bodywork WAS stamped out here and made by Holden, but by far the bulk of the vehicle is imported and assembled here. All GM products in Australia (car or truck) were only locally assembled imports by Holden's until the arrival of the 1948 48-215.

Despite the presence of the Holden plates, both the Chev and Maple Leaf are genuine Chev and Maple Leaf vehicles, not "Misleading sheep in wolves' clothing".
