The marking on the side is "The Westminster Regiment" from New Westminster British Columbia. The word in the brackets is likely "Motor".

In April of 1941 the 1st Bn, Westminster Regiment (MG) underwent an entire reorganization, re-rolled, and re-equipped with Bren-Gun Carriers, White Scout cars and motorcycles. They became a motor regiment a precursor to today's mechanized infantry units. In-conjunction with their new role was a subsequent name change from 1st Bn, The Westminster Regiment (MG) to 1st Bn, The Westminster Regiment (Motor).
