Interesting, Mike, both the data and the source.
I cover the reasons why there were many local (Aust) assembly contracts and production contracts for jeep spares in the chapter 'The 'Trucks 1/4 ton (USA)' in Australia', pages 463 to 510 of LLoyd White's 'The Evolution of the Willys-Overland MB Jeep' Volume 1. Canada Cycle were also one of the contract assemblers, so gained work for both spares kits and in assembling and testing newly-arrived jeeps from the USA prior to delivery to the Army or RAAF. CD E5908, for example, was for Canada Cycle to assemble and test 280 jeeps. The contract was dated April 1943. Mike
