The Australian Army Number registration books are online at:

There are WC51's and WC21's in the book 2016.38.207 Look for numbers beginning at 128310

Apparently there was a pecking order for buying surplus vehicles . Govt. departments got first preference, then the parent companies eg Ford, GMH and Chrysler got the next option to buy back the vehicles. Chrysler Australia had distribution companies like the Canada Cycle co. and Harden & Johnson in NSW . The red notes indicate where the vehicle was sold to . Some were transferred to the air force and the Navy. RNIA = Royal Netherland Indies Army I think.

Also found in the books are many T110L 3 Ton Canadian models shipped to Australia
