On the ex-Swiss T-16 we have at work, it has the narrowed track but the casting on the track links is the usual Canadian part number. Not sure if they are modified track, or if the swiss re-cast them using a Cdn one as the sample.

AFAIK, the Swiss reworked existing track. But would US produced track have a Canadian part number? That would be in indication that the Swiss recast track links using samples from other sources.

Or did Canadian manufacturers supply Ford Motor Co. with track for their T16 production run?
