Hi Don;

Here are two more possibilities for 'marking' your 'KL' if you are still interested in 'marking' it as a vehicle that supported AWD KANGAROO, during the conversion of the Priest equipments to APCs, and one for if your interested in 'marking' it as a vehicle of the LAD that was attached to 1st APCR, C.A.C. from Oct 44 onwards:

1. - a 'KL' of No. 43 Light Aid Detachment (Type C), R.C.O.C. (LAD attached to "F" Squadron, 25th Armoured Delivery Regiment (The Elgin Regiment), C.A.C.)(Army Troops)
or
2. - 'KL' of No. 88 Light Aid Detachment (Type C), R.C.O.C. (LAD attached to "E" Squadron, 25th Armoured Delivery Regiment (The Elgin Regiment), C.A.C.)(Corps Troops)
or
3. - 'KL' of No. 123 Light Aid Detachment (Type E), R.C.E.M.E. (LAD attached to 1st Armoured Personnel Carrier Regiment, C.A.C., from 24 Oct 44)

For suggestion # 1 - 43 LAD (C) - the Arm of Service (AoS) marking used, would be the figures '465' in white centred on a background of (from top to bottom-horizontal) blue, yellow, red, with a 2" (inch) white bar running across the bottom (denoting Army Troops). The Formation Sign (Fmn Sign) used would have been that of First Canadian Army. (top diagram of the attached image).

For suggestion # 2 - 88 LAD (C) - the Arm of Service (AoS) marking used, would be the figures '465' in white centred on a background of (from top to bottom-horizontal) blue, yellow, red, with a 2" (inch) white bar running across the top (denoting Corps Troops). The Formation Sign (Fmn Sign) used would have been that of the Canadian II Corps (middle diagram of the attached image).

For suggestion # 3 - 123 LAD (E) - the Arm of Service (AoS) marking used, would be the figures '157' in white centred on a background of (from top to bottom-horizontal) blue, yellow, red. The Formation Sign (Fmn Sign) used would have been that of the British 79th Armd Div. (bottom diagram of the attached image).

Hope this helps Don.

Cheers
