We also know for a fact (courtesy Blackburn) that ALL halftracks and White Scout Cars in the Canadian Army in Normandy were repossessed to carry troops in TOTALIZE, so indeed they were truly "combat cars". How many survived those two weeks is hard to say. When did the C15TA come into general issue? Might it have been just after this?
