Would love to see the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa (MG) vehicle list breakdown.

Was there a date associated with the sheets you found? Seems the T-16 in the A/T gun role was held off until all of the 4.2-inch mortar platoons were equipped with the T-16. Just wondering when that would have been accomplished. Thinking it would have been August-September 1944.

Also very interesting that they differentiated the jeeps by maker. I'd have thought at the time that a Willys or Ford were both simply jeeps to them.
