They were around.
I think its a MA which was found Sydney way about 20years ago and now has been restored.
I see it at club rally's every now and then.

Default Early Jeeps in Melbourne
Don White , the chap on the sales counter at Stokoe Motors in North Melbourne (Australia's first official Jeep agency) told us he had seen Willys MA and Bantam BRC Jeeps at Port Melbourne when the US Forces first arrived.

It attended Corowa this year . Some people reckon its a bit of a bodge rebuild with too many repro parts but where do you find original MA parts . Who can say their own rebuilds are 100% accurate ..not me
