Had a close look at the cam pattern for the Cdn 1/4 ton vehicles. From this I deduct left and right sides were supposed to have the same pattern, right?
Thanks,

Here are a couple snaps of my Cdn3 I took today. This is my daily driver for when I go to get the mail, and often, if I am bored, it will take a ride through the local forest. As such, the body is not pristine. I also dropped a tree across the hood last year while cutting firewood, and I have not got around to sandblasting and painting the replacement hood yet.
This Jeep has had the typical light armoured recce modifications to it. These include the wire cutter bar on the front bumper, and the GPMG mount on the right side. It also has the IKEE (Installation kit, electrical equipment) for the 524 set). The "support our troops cadpat magnet on the left corner is not an official marking. The bent fenders, while not an official light recce modification, were pretty much standard on all the recce jeeps after 15 years of hard service.
Anyway, this is the textbook 3 colour "by the book" Cdn cam job.
