Hopefully we will eventually get to speak to the owner of the Australian one and confirm what it really is.

It's definately a Chev, not GMC. I think off the top of my head the model code was G6107 or similar??

I tried to source a couple of engine side panels with the Chevrolet stamping for the owner of this Auger truck from the Humphries' Yard in Nelson, and also know of another recently restored in Invercargill that was an ex-Fire Truck. The Nelson Chev had 6 stud wheels and Timken Diffs.

I'll add it to the list of vehicles requiring chasing for photos.

The dates are written the American way - Month-Day-year

is it a delivery date or assembly date?

so 2 were delivered on July 9th, 1941 and the other on July 14th, 1941.

I have not found any evidence of a British CCK-353, though the US Army was a derivative of the 1941 CC-350 series.
