Here are some images from the C60X assembly instructions which give a definition for MUP.

Interestingly, while they state this is a Multi Unit Pack, I guess in fact this would be a Single Unit Pack as the crate contains one complete chassis/cab. The chassis/cab is clearly Semi or Partly Knocked Down, CKD or PKD.
I think the confusion originates from combining automotive industry and military logistics practices and definitions.
