I take it that the CMD, Slough, assembled Ford, possibly Willys, Jeeps, crated in the factory and then shipped by NYC to England?

Yes, I would say CMD reassembled both Willys and Ford Jeeps, manufactured either on Canadian or US contracts and partly knocked down for SUP'ing or TUP'ing at the factory, then shipped direct to the UK.

Here's a picture of Jeep reassembly "somewhere in England". I'm not saying this is CMD, but there are CMP's in the background! (source - click for large size scan)
