They must have arrived as 'refugee cargo' in Australia: they were still at sea when the Netherlands East Indies fell to the rapid Japanese advance. Consequently, the shipments were diverted to Australia. This is how Australia got 141
light tanks (and many other vehicles) ordered by the NEI Army as well.
