Default Unlikely?

The delivery of all G.M.C./Chevrolet KNIL and other NEI vehicles including those procured from General Motors Corporation would have been to the GM Java plant as already described. Incidentally I would be interested to know who or where the Ford representatives were.

The contract referred to was of course of 1941 YR models, as also supplied to French contracts that were diverted to the UK [albeit with Thornton 6 x 4 conversions]. These were 4 x 2 trucks and not 4 x 4. Also all YRs were lhd it seems, whereas there were rhd MS series trucks, 4 x 2 that were for 'Export'. A candidate for the 4 x 4 trucks is the YP and YQ series which were 1941 Models and I think had the military type front end.
