Yep, and the Boomerang was also sold as a kit. Engesa converted Dodge, Chevrolet, Ford and Mercedes trucks. These kits were also sold abroad, for example by GM of South Africa (source Vanderveen, post-war vehicles book).

Weren't those license-built DAF's?
The Spanish Pegaso Comet was based on the DAF YA314. The Pegaso 5 ton was a collaboration of Pegaso and DAF Netherlands and DAF Madrid (Vanderveen).
