I recall (but am too lazy to check) that the introduction in the MBC1 and MBC2 manuals also talks about HUA versions. Why would they do this alongside HUP'a and HUW's in a 1942 factory pub?

Last, have a look at the HUP section in Bill Gregg's CMP profile series.
Bruce,

I will check Gregg's CMP profile series as you suggested.

Update: The Factory Photos diskette put out by Service Publications does show a number of ambulance photos at the GM plant. This confirms that the entire truck was made in Oshawa. My confusion began with the word "body", which I now know refers to the entire truck. This now makes sense to me.
