It does sound like your WC-52 is not a Canadian Built unit, I could be wrong, as I have seen some odd trucks out there that I never knew existed, of all the Canadian Trucks I have seen they all have stamped D3/4 WP/APT built in Canada where as the American trucks are stamped WC-52 USA built Detroit .

My truck was made by Chrysler Corporation Canada Limited. I have the exact same plate as you posted with the ignition not being water proof.
As well data plate has it as Vehicle Model D3/4 WP/APT GS1. Order # for truck is S/M 6423 . I am the third owner since it was sold from the military so am not sure which department of military it belonged to prior to sale.

I would be interested in seeing Andreas data plate's, I have a seen one WC-52built in 1946-8 and stamped WC-52 that looked like the 1952 M37, but No where on Canadian Trucks have I seen the data plate stamped WC-52 ?

Hi,
here is my No plate out of the motorroom. Didnt quite think its original because of the german Registers and the weights in kg.
