In the initial photo, it’s possible that jeep is a slat grilled MB and the writing along the lower windscreen looks similar to whatever is written across the canvas of the WLC windscreen in the front left position of the group.
In the early 40’s, when the Atlantic convoys were not doing so well, Canada had a top secret project in Banff National Park at a lake up in the Jasper area. They were working out how to build cargo ships out of ice. They successfully built a prototype but by the time it was all sorted out the tide turned in the Allies favour in the Atlantic and the project was abandoned.
About 5 years ago, I think, researchers stumbled across the project documents in Ottawa and a documentary showed up on TV about it. They found the ships engines and/or ice making equipment at the bottom of the lake where the project was worked on.
Maybe all those MP’s in the photo were connected to that project in some way?
