Not definitive, of course, but no mention of the RAS Showgrounds in this article:

David, the body in the first image has 'Willys' pressed into it, so I think these were re-works of existing jeeps to fulfill a need at short notice.

Yes, they converted existing jeeps (which may not even have been brand new ones?)

Holden converted 200 for use in the Pacific TO, more were converted in the US - read more here: https://www.cj3b.info/Fire/MilitaryAmbulances.html
