Absolutely. The Japanese-market and Down-under vans are Liteace (sorry
about the original misspelling due to brainfade), and I have seen these
badged LE in Canada. Have seen them in car-chase shows from the US also.
The Hiace likewise is definitely a cabover design, we have plenty of
Japanese-market examples here. Yoshi could confirm.

Don't know what you're getting in Europe, perhaps some export-only vans
fitted with Liteace and Hiace badges. Never haeard of "Model F"; sure this
isn't a rebadged very old Ford?
