Their variations would have another 'life' in the IDF. Eager for arms... the new state of Israel would 'paw through' the junk yards of Europe (early 50's) looking for military transport that could be taken back to Israel, refurbished and re-purposed. In films of the 1967 Six Day War you will see these in use. Finally France (for a while) would become Israel's principle arms supplier. However, many WW II surplus 'goods' would appear again in the hands of the IDF as France handed off its remaining U.S. Lend/Lease 'stuff' to Israel... as well as selling new French arms to them.

Soviet BTR-152 copy M2 half truck
This is definitely not a Soviet copy.
@@jefffurlong1206 The Soviet BTR-152 is almost copied from the M2 half track. Only BTR-152 wheeled
