I am curious about the issuing unit at Petawawa. Was it strictly a Base Supply Depot, or a Central Depot covering a larger area?
... the CAR IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 00016 could be explained, and the COLUMN OF EIS NO. 1300 explained, that would be a great help as well.

The Base Supply Section would supply all of the CF personnel and units within the designated CFB Petawawa support area, Regular and Reserve. The supply depot for Ontario was in Cobourg (since closed).
I don't know what the 561 stands for.
CAR ID
or Serial Number. I'm guessing that the sets were numbered locally and this one was #16 out of all the sets in the storeroom.
The set was issued complete with equipment as listed in EIS 1300 with the exceptions of the items listed below. Now you need to find a copy of EIS 1300.
