in the book "Observer's Military Vehicles Directory.... from 1945" by Bart
Vanderveen, page 335 shows two examples of the experimental 3/4-ton mule.
Both were built by Willys.......one was the XM443 (1958) and the other was
the XM443-E1(1959).

Both photos show a vehicle which looks remarkably like a "United Dairies"
electric milk-float.

hope this helps....
Kind regards....
