Hi Shayne;

As Clive (aka servicepub) mentioned, the 'three line' typical markings would have been used by the 1st (Reserve) Battalion, The Prince Rupert Regiment (M.G.),

but they would not have displayed the formation sign of either of the 6th, 7th or 8th Canadian Divisions, nor would they have displayed the (if any) formation sign of Pacific Command.

From authorization to disbandment, the 1st (Reserve) Battalion, The Prince Rupert Regiment (M.G.), remained a unit of the Canadian Army (Reserve) and were never placed on 'Active Service' as a component of any of the Brigade Groups of the 6th, 7th or 8th Canadian Divisions, nor did they ever serve as a component of either the 39th (Reserve) Brigade Group or 41st (Reserve) Brigade Group, which although they were themselves made up of units of the Canadian Army (Reserve) and not on 'Active Service', provided the General Officer Commanding-in-Chief Pacific Command a 'tactical reserve'.

Cheers
