Looking for WW2 picture showing canadian CDP tracks in use

CDP tracks were first installed on a Ram on the production line on 1 January 1943. By late October 1943 it was in general use with Canadian armoured units in the UK. It became standard with the Sexton from vehicle 425, which would have been delivered in early 1944. It was standard equipment with the Grizzly although occasionally these appear with other track-types. I am not aware of it being used on any non-Canadian-made M-4 type vehicles. US Ordnance was initially willing to accept it as "limited standard" but in the end did not, because it ran hot, contributing to bogie wear.

Here is a CDP-fitted Sexton on MLW assembly line in August 1944, and another being tested in November that year.
