Hi Rick,
It does sound confusing, I have to say. Check out Bart Vandeveen's Directory. My take on this is ...., The Canadians were issued with Scout Car MkI (Daimler) and Scout Car MkII (Daimler), then the Lynx I arrived, so the Canadian Defence Dept refered to it as Scout Car MkIII*. I think I am correct in saying the asterisk denotes Canadian manufacture as with Carriers.
Of course there was another Scout Car MkIII, the final version of the Daimler, but that was mid 1945, several years later. Bart shows the Lynx II, but there is no reference to the "Scout Car Mk ..." nomenclature for that one.

Perhaps it will make more sense after a few VB's
