The Canadian military production seems to have standardised on the 25" long block 236.6 cu in engine, but I'd guess a Canadian-supplied T116 may well have had a shorter 23.5" US version in it. Not sure they'd a 25" version of the T116 though, my T116 here is 23.5" long. People talk about Canadian and American as though they were built in different countries ( I know ... ) but if you look at the physical location of Mound Road Detroit and Windsor Ontario they aren't that far apart.
