I think you may be confused by the fact General Motors is an American company. As the largest vehicle company in the world for a period of 50 years they owned (and still own) many subsidiary companies in many countries eg Opel in Germany, Holden's in Australia and Vauxhall/Bedford in UK. Each of these subsidiary companies went through periods of being the largest car/truck company in their own country in their own right.

Each of those subsidiary companies was so large they had their own complete design and production operations almost totally unrelated to the American design and production operations.

Of course there were a lot of parts interchanged between these companies as there is today with all car companies using engines, gearboxes and complete platforms between seemingly direct competitors, not just their own sudsidiaries.

The Bedfords we are looking at here were designed and built by Vauxhall/Bedford UK and the main connection they had with GM USA was a large percentage of profit flowed back to the parent company.
