Red Cross Ambulances

I have a major query! The above is a photo of several Chevrolet WA panel vans RUN by the Polish Red Cross, similar to the Czech Red Cross, circa 1941. Note that they have the Polish Forces WD Census Numbers and 'Polish Red Cross' in Polski and English. Now, as with Canadian, Czech and presumably US Red Cross ambulances were these vehicles military but operated by the Red Cross divisions or were they civilian but allocated military numbers? I have a printed photo of a 1941 Model YR Panel Van with civilian rego operated by the British American Ambulance Corps, and yet the lady driver is wearing uniform...FANY Corps?

Found this page about WW2 ambulances.
