I have since learned that there were in fact Contract Demands issued for further jeeps, but these contarct delivered to US spec.
These included: CDLV 1696 4000 units CDLV 1801 1000 units CDLV1802 1000 units Now as far as how many actually made it overseas is a mistery as some were destined to stay domestic with some being sent over to Europe. It is also possible that near wars end these contract may have not been totally fulfilled or possibly even cancelled. Apparently jeeps under these C/D were stock US spec, both Ford and Willys, and did not carry the special nuances that previous 505 contract did. This would also pertain to the special data plates as jeeps under the contracts supposedly wore the standard US style plates.
