Default What's the story?

I wonder at the origins of the Chev in the 3rd photo as it has an interesting mix of features. On this type of truck (RHD Modified Civilian) I would have expected the windscreen to be the wind out type with concealed hinges, not the full military swing out type with external hinges and slider at each end. Add to this the civilian type bumper, commercial parking lights, single windscreen wiper, non military looking cargo body and what may possibly be 18 inch tyres and it becomes a bit of a puzzle how it came to be?
Would it have been sourced from Canada or the U.S.? Would it have been shipped direct to the M.E. or via Australia? Is it an odd one out or were there more like this?
The more you see of these trucks the more unanswered questions arise.

David
