Hi Colin;
Regarding the fate of the Renaults - from the book
Dragons of Steel, Canadian Armour in Two World Wars - "When Canadian-built tanks made their appearance in 1942, the Renaults were sold off, not at bargain prices at any means. Purchased in bulk, the cost was $135 per tank and small orders, $250." - this quote is referenced to PAC, RG 24 Volume 2591.
Also, another photo of Renaults at Camp Borden:
