S/M 2029 versus 2030
In addition to the ones mentioned we know that some C.8s were shipped directly to Alexandria and allocated Z 4548XXX numbers.
I just checked and there were F.8s supplied as a mixed bag under S/M 2030 to the UK, and assembled under Contract 294/V/4699 at Dagenham. These were then bodies by Mulliner and Stewart & Arden at least as Utility Cars. In addition a number were delivered as chassis-cabs and bodied as Wireless trucks, and delivered in England and to Egypt, the latter with sand tyres: see IWM photo KID 2088. There is no reason why F.8s could not have been supplied to the AIF, unless they were otherwise taken up by the NZEF or Indian Army?
