The cab pictured is a Canadian built cab, but while perusing the AWM registers, I found notes referring to at least 2 Australian built C15A trucks transferred to the US Navy.

It seems they got them from a variety of sources!

Indeed, the one pictured in "Japanese occupied China, 1945, NGC, Sino-American Co-op Org (SACO)" is a Canadian-built chassis/cab, fitted with a body in India.

The ones you are referring were Australian built and supplied to the US Navy in Australia. Great find, BTW!

Guess they were sourcing (even scrounging) their vehicles locally, wherever they sailed and needed vehicles to do their business?
