I'd propose the following:
We need to find out how many AKs we need to transport the Mainland Asia ressources to Japan - the around 100.000 tons a day - and simply convert most of the rest. It neither takes much time nore does it take big ports. So it can easily be done "on demand", no?

That's one part, though you need Pure Aks to haul supplies as well, and I suspect we'll be using them to haul fuel as well, given the shortage of Tanker capacity.

On the bright side, you're right, AK-t conversions and back are pretty quick and simple. It must not have been pleasant to be a Japanese infantryman on one of those converted AKs!
There aren't too much supplies to ship around, so I don't think they'll be the problem!
