OK. There is a key piece missing here.
We are trying to wrap our heads around two examples of 1941/42 Chevrolet trucks assembled in France, perhaps with 1944 dated engines.
France fell in May/June 1940!
Maybe these vehicles are rebuilds, or assemblies from available surplus, wrecks, parts and wartime KD vehicles, that were being used to jump start French factories and reboot their economy. Whether or not they were LHD or RHD did not matter at all at the time, but getting the country back on its feet did.
Maybe we are looking at these two trucks now through a telephoto lens, when a wide angle one would make more sense.
