Mario, welcome to this forum first of all.
Not sure if this is your question, but the Sexton 25-pdr Self Propelled Gun was manufactured in Canada, using parts made in the USA (engine, gearbox, etc). They were both delivered to, and used by, Canadian and British artillery units.
See
Sexton serial numbers and
Sherman Register > Serial numbers for more information about serial numbers. If you look up the Shop No. on the rear hull (stamped below the starter handle hole, range from 1 to 2150), we might be able to tell you more about it's history.
Regards,
Hanno
