Good point. Most likely it is, in the early post-war days military surplus was almost the only stuff available, and it was regulated too. One could not just wander into ta surplus yard and buy a truck. One had to have a permit, which you only got when your business was of essential civilian service. Needless to say, there was a thriving black market.
