The vast majority of Sextons were made for the British account. Th Canadian Army used them only in Canada and NW Europe, there were no Canadian Sextons in Italy. 8th Field Regiment used M7 Priests in Italy, and only received its Sextons in Belgium in March 1945. Canada retained 211 Sextons after the War. They were given away as NATO Mutual Aid between 1953 and 1957, to my knowledge most were given to Portugal.

I had not known that Italy regunned its Sextons with 105s.
