Ed, my thoughts being that Canaidan armoured crewmen perhaps following in the footsteps of their WW2 brethren, the Brits at least as well as a few Canadians seemed to have an affectinado with the Thompson SMG for one as well as the M3 grease gun.
I understand that the infantry was an entired different entity from the armoured corps whic BTW was very limited in the Korean engagement.
According to my friend who was in the PPCLI, American equipment was often chosen due to the fact that supplies were so much easier to obtain in theatre.
He mentioned that during re-supply it was often a case of "how many do you want?"
