Default Unit no. 182

I was just looking at the D-Day dodger's photo (the old man-Lance Corporal William James Shipton (Jimmie) from Kingston,Ontario) in the book "A Liberation Album"on page 88-Canadians in The Netherlands 1944-45 where he's sitting on a motorcycle with a white truce flag on the right handlebar & it just dawned on me!!The unit # on both the Harley he's sitting on & the 1st CMP C-60 reads 182.Is there any affisienado unit markings expert out there who can narrow this number down & who they were attached to??All I know is he"s with the 1st Div Royal Caanadian Army Service Corp during the truce to feed starving civilians at the end of the war.And no,he's not a military policeman,just an outrider for his convoy of CMP's feeding the starving,God ,he looks like me!!
