Carpenter & Co. also purchased many Aust. No. 3 jeep trailers.
Another buyer of jeep trailers was Simmonds Co. .......can't find anything about that Company.
ALFSEA is another common red pencil notation as a recipient of vehicles - could be 'Allied Land Forces South East Asia' .. just a guess
WR Carpenter, who, through his business enterprises purchased many jeeps and trailers through CDC sales
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Randolph_Carpenter
Carpenter must have dispatched his buyers out in order to attend the many CDC sales held in places such as Rabaul. He wasn't a acredited jeep manufacturer or dealership nor a govt. Dept. Seems odd that so many jeeps were purchased by a private business that wasn't previously a car dealer.
