I'm prettry sure Phil's truck was not delivered to France untill the early 1950s.

From The Marshall Aid: "The Marshall Plan - for economic aid - came into effect in 1948. It combined various American financial economic European aid programmes and was meant to replace the existing UNRRA aid programme (United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Agency) that had been set up just after the end of the Second World War under control of the United Nations.

After 1952 the nature of the American aid to Europe changed and the Marshall Aid was gradually reduced. It was replaced by the Mutual Defence Assistance Act (MDAA). The Mutual Security Agency (MSA) saw to it that economic aid to European countries was strictly connected to military expenditure. The Netherlands, by then a member of NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation), got the newest American army equipment, naval vessels and fighter planes at their disposal via the MDAP (Mutual Defence Assistance Program)."
