I seem to recall reading these were actually built in the USA - will look up the reference.

When I looked it up on p.111 of Crismon's U.S. Military Wheeled Vehicles, it turned out to be the other way round, actually: "Wooden-bodied station wagons were perhaps no longer being procured in the US for military use, but in India things were different. Shipped from the US in "CKD" (completely knocked down) mode, this Dodge was assembled by local labor in Calcutta, India. The locally fabricated body was designed as a mobile command post which included a desk, table and bed. It was destined for use in China. (US Army Signal Still Photo Depository)"
