The muzzle brakes are on the C3 version. These were an upgrade on the C1, to extend their life and range. The carriages will be Canadian, but the breech ring and barrel, along with modifications to the upper sled, are European. However, despite the upgrade, the C3 is slated to be leaving the CF in the next year or two. The reserves will be getting the left over LG-1 (French GIAT) from the regular force. Those were purchased as an interim gun back around 2000, and were expected to last about 5 or 10 years.
I would be careful about asking and posting on scrounging gun parts from the military. For some reason the powers that be are not so keen about these kinds of things.
