I don't see anything there to preclude the truck being used by 2 Div Signals and the original caption being correct.
They were after all a sub-unit of 1 Canadian Army and vehicles are constantly being exchanged or loaned up and down the chain to cater for servicing, repairs or bolstering particular units for some operation. This is even more likely in this case as the "owning" unit is the Corps (as in Signals) senior unit directly above the captioned "using" unit.
I very much doubt anyone would have bothered changing the bumper markings even if the loan or transfer was permanent or even anything more formal in the vehicle records than a note "Allocated to ...... March 5 1945"
