Unknown WWII Jacket

Hey guys,
I picked this up at auction almost a year ago. My initial research turned up no solid answers. I just realized I had never posted it here to see if anyone could help.
It is cut like a BD, but made out of the same material as the jeep coats. It was made in Montreal dated 1943 and has a C broadarrow on the waist band.
Anyone know what it is?

I'll look up some pictures but it could be a cold weather jacket used out west.

Thanks Harry, any help at all i appreciated. I even showed it to several WWII vets this past Remembrance season and none of them had seen one before.

Possibilities....
 
Top part of a armored vehicle outfit....using a similar pattern bib cover all arrangement for the bottom.....

Specialy made for an officer......Van Doos..?

Limited production prototype......

Korean vintage.........

....sure looks like it would be comfortable.

Not Korean, Bob, check the WW2 dated label...
I am sure it is an armoured crew jacket.
