Here is what I found a few years ago. Again, nothing on these in a 7x50 configuration.
"As part of a Canadian Army standardisation programme for all
manufacturers and makes/marks of No. 2 binoculars, Beaconing Optical &
Precision Materials of Ganby, QC (BOP) was approached to modify three (3)
binoculars, Prismatic, No 2 Mk 2, manufactured by Universal Camera (USA).
These were serial numbers 11510, 14451 and 12721. The modifiations included
work on; Axles, Hinges, Prism mounting plate, and; Fixing (cementing) the
Prism. My documents show that the work was done for a cost of $280.00
'however the price for a quantity job will be considerably reduced'. This
implies that a wide-ranging programme was contemplated. My copy of the
original drawing clearly shows the BOP/Canada truncated oval logo."
