Indeed, this one is all Canadian other than the Willys plates. RCEME rebuild tags on some parts, headlight guards, security chain, convoy light, and signal lights. I recall seeing a photo taken shortly after the Korean War, in the DMZ I think, with Canadians using US M-38A1's. The ones used in Egypt also appear to be US jeeps. Perhaps the Toledo ones were used there, and were brought to Canada at some point?

Also, mine has no sign of having a machine gun mount, but there were enough links in the nooks and crannies that it must have had a machine gun mounted somehow. Any ideas? Some sort of temporary mount?
