Your chances are 1:6! The Netherlands Army bought the equipment left by the Canadian Army after May 1945. In 1948, only six (6) of these Ford lorries with Quad Polsten were on strength. Judging by the low number, operational use during WW2 was limited.

If only we had a list cross referencing Canadian and Dutch census numbers...
