Ken, my money would be on a major US Military rebuild facility in Japan that had that item on inventory. There used to be a surplus dealer here in Winnipeg years ago that had crates of rebuilt MB axles all tagged as having come out of a similar Japanese facility.
Not sure it still exists but I think it was active back in the Korean War days and probably lasted through the Vietnam War at least.
Way too aggressive an idea for Canada to maintain large military overhaul facilities around the world.
