While searching for info on Japanese vehicles , I found ths.The diesel powered type 94 truck was faster than the petrol version.
Reported in contemporary Melbourne newspapers: One of the little model 95 4x4 Kurogane cars was sold at a disposals auction here in Melbourne just after the war. Another Kurogane was pictured in Queensland ,it was possibly the same Melbourne car. Apparently, the Melbourne Kurogane was road registered , I believe it has turned up in the AOMC card records of Victorian registrations.
