Default Sexton in Holland

A Sexton 25-pounder self-propelled gun, obviously on a victory parade with lots of spit and polish, most likely just shortly after WW2. The reverse of this picture postcard has the imprint "Canadeesche tank - Stevens Photo - Haarlem", implying this is a "Canadian tank".

Anyone with knowledge about artillery markings to identify the unit?

Captioned "Canadian tank. On its way to the center for the parade on Dam Square. "
