The Canadian pattern is very close to the Rubbolite No.2 and I used them on my Humber Armoured Car. Luckily Dirk stills has stocks of them.
Thanks Neil

So the rubbolite fixture was a generic thing by the sound of it .

BTW those NOS examples I mentioned are 17 pounds each.. too rich for me with the greedy bank exchange and postage too.
