I have seen this mechanism on many of the CMPs from Saskatchewan. When I was in MooseJaw, the older collectors told me that there was a law back in the 50s that the right hand drive vehicles had to have the indicater mechanism because, although people were familiar with hand signals, (and they probably still are in Saskatchewan )
they weren't used to seeing it out the right side. Although I have seen the handle in many of the trucks,I don't think I've ever seen the outside marker still present.
