First Australian CMPs?

That would be S/M 2003! Originally it was to be a delivery:

1,500 30-cwt. Fords for Bombay and 1,500 Chevrolets for England and this was changed a short time later: 1,200 30-cwt. Fords for Egypt and 300 for Mombasa, with 1,500 Chevrolets for England

This would have been one sent out from England, I was going to suggest being shipped out with the AIF sent to the Mid-East but I don't think that there was enough time to get from Oshawa to England, be assembled and then shipped off under a change of plan whilst the AIF sailed say in December '40? Unless there was a switch of destination at sea, this truck would have been sent out I would say in the new year, possibly February '41? Perhaps even later?
