D Troop, 36th Battery, Canadian 23rd Field Regiment:

From my copy of Jean Bouchery's full colour book, "From D-Day to VE-Day, The Canadian Soldier" let me add to the conversation.

Would the War Department number start with CT for Tanks and Carriers versus S for Self-Propelled Gun? Whichever, white letters on the right rear side, above and between the rear idler and last roadwheel / or on the opposite side same location / or on the front left upper side beside the driver's shoulder.

A yellow circle with black surround and bridge classification number on the front right of the final drive. Bouchery shows a Sexton SPG with 30 as the weight.

Above the right front mudguard on the forward slope of the hull, 76 in white on a red over blue arm of service for artillery.

On the opposite side in the same location, the gold maple leaf on a coloured square. Not sure which colour background for that division.

The two upper hull markings are repeated reversed on the rear hull, the arm of service on the left and the maple leaf on the right.

Someone smarter than me will make corrections, and narrow down the particulars.
