I asked this same question some time ago with little response.
The Naval example is probably from a unit called the 30th Naval Assault Unit whose task during the NW Europe Campaign was to seize German Naval Technology before the Russians or our Allies got their hands on it.
From memory more C15TA's were ordered on British Contracts than Canadian ones. Having said this, based on the surviving photograhic evidence, most seem to have sat in base ordinance depots seeing limited service post-war.
The only pictures I have at the moment are from the GHQ Liasion Regiment who seem to have aquired some during late 1944 or early 1945. These are the markings I am currently planning to use.
I am still incidently trying to find some one on the Continent who is willing to source me some Brown Canvas to make a cover for my C15TA. The military canvas dealers over here refuse to stock any as most MV owners are brain washed into believing every thing was painted green during the war.
If a continental dealer has retained the dimensions from one he has already manufactured, I would be happy to buy the finished product.
