Default another question

A friend has seen a 4X4 with a Maple Leaf badge on the bonnet (sorry no pictures) and he asked me to try and find out if this is genuion or just a farm built bitzer.

Default 4x4 ML

From memory there were some pre-war 4x4 Maple Leafs, on a limited-production basis, similar to that of US-built GMCs that GM were exporting to governments around the world. Otherwise I think it may be a conversion?

without photos it is impossible to tell but it is probably a farm conversion using blitz axles & running gear.
