Maple leaf Jeeps
Chris,
Check out Wheels & Tracks No. 1 for the article "Maple Leaf Jeeps" which covered Canada's US-built Jeeps and home-grown 10 cwt trailers.
The main differences from US Army Jeeps were: single headlight with guard, towing rings on front bumper and at the rear, and electric windshield wipers.
Some of the Canadian contracts for Jeeps (all before mid-1943) were:
CDLV - 241 500 units
CDLV - 242 1500 units (shipped overseas)
CDLV - 505 3000 units (half shipped overseas)
CDLV - 1696 4000 units (shipped overseas)
CDLV - 1801 1000 units (for Canadian delivery)
CDLV - 1802 1000 units (for overseas delivery)
