As far as I know, Canada did not operate in N.Africa, at least not on a regimental scale. I believe we had Canadians there assigned to British units.
The white Invasion Star was used on vehicles used in the Normandy landings, hence post June 6, 1944.
Priot to this, the British used the RAF roundel on the upper surfaces of vehs (top) as identifiers. I have seen this on Italian and N. Africa campaign vehs.
