Why did the US Navy supply them?
Was it just diplomatic friendliness because the Peruvian president(?) asked them to?

Yes, but if I remember correctly, the US Navy also commisioned the expidition to test a range of experimental survival gear and rations.
So they did get something in return for supplying them.
I Salo think so, that they got it for testing it. Maybe I got that from the book or from the KonTiki museum in Oslo.
