Thousands of vehicles were supplied to China via the Ledo Road during '45 so perhaps there were CMPs amongst them...? Certainly we see '45 production CMPs supplied in large numbers to India, including convoys at work on the aerial supply line to China, so perhaps there were Chinese CMP contracts in '45 as well...? Or would they be US vehicles exclusively?

"On 12 January 1945, the first convoy of 113 vehicles, led by General Pick, departed from Ledo; they reached Kunming, China on 4 February 1945. In the six months following its opening, trucks carried 129,000 tons of supplies from India to China. Twenty-six thousand trucks that carried the cargo (one way) were handed over to the Chinese."
