Default Surinam Internationals

The 1960 edition of the Dutch Militaire Spectator brought a Surinam Special. Page 392 mentions the transport section of the TRIS as having International 3 ton and 1 ton all wheel drive trucks. Also on strenght were 2 International busses. The rest of the vehicles seemed to have been Volkswagens as well as (Dutch built?) jeeps.
Hans already showed us a 1956 International pickup truck and some 1955 4x4 Fords (the successors of the 1942 Ford/Marmon-Herringtons?). Now, in 1960 they talk about 3 ton Internationals. Were the Fords already phased out after five years? Not unlikely, considering the roads and terrain of the country...
What truck would that 3 tonner International be? And what about the buses?
The text of the article comes with a picture of Internationals of WW2 vintage. Confusing. The text of the article might simply be wrong...?
