The statement that the workshops are refurbished railway cars has been disputed by researcher Ian Stroud in his article "The New Zealand Divisional Tail" , in 'Forts and Works', July 2018, pp 1-7, where he states that the workshop bodies were built to a War Department design by the English lorry manufacturers and fitted to the lorries before delivery.
