 Japanese Wartime commercial vehicle and military vehicle are quite few now.
All unknown military vehicles seems made for movie.

 Just to let you all know, Most of these vehicles can't possibly be newerthan 1945 because this movie is supposed to be set in WWII. I'm not saying all of these cars are Pre-1945 I just think that a few are older that that.

You are probably right but its not unusual to see cars that do not match the year of a movie when the movie is set a long time in the past. Most films are not made to be really historically accurate. The only thing that is sure is that the car cannot be younger than the movie ;)

 Hello,

there is a car missing. In one scene there is a japanese convoy in the background of the camp consisting of two "japonized" Borgward B2000a/o troop carriers packed with soldiers. These military cars were built in Germany in the mid 50s. Maybe someone could extract the picture which I can´t.

 POINT OF INTEREST...the "crashed" jap Zero in the film is a North american T-6G used as a crashed prop..after filming it was restored in 2002 back to flying condition by a group in the UK, formerly registerd as 11-4700 with the French Air Force as from the year 2002 its air registration was G-TOMC..after the movie finished filming in Spain in 1987 the aircraft was put in storage at "Aces High" at North Weald.

In the picture in front of the large country house, presumably the Berkshire location, appears on the right what looks to be, from the width of its radiator grille, a Standard Flying V-VIII. Why no interest in this extremely rare British car?
