Default Another..different Continent originally?



I am conjecting that this is a British contract S/M 2028 # 12 Cab C-GT issued to the AIF in North Africa and then sold and subsequently shipped off for further service. Here is proof at last that this did happen:

Colombo, Ceylon. February 1942. A 1941 (early type) Chevrolet 8440/CGT 4x4 artillery gun tractor number H4522081 being unloaded from the troopship Mendoza. Soldiers and local people watch as the tractor is lifted out of the hold.
I assume that this was shipped with the 7th Australian Division from Port Tewfik, Suez, 6th February 1942 on the Mendoza.
