First of all, as an ex Sherbrooke Hussars, which perpetuates the Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment, thank you for your interest. There is a regimental history by a man named Hall (?), published in the early 1960s. It won't list the tanks, but it will amplify or correct some of your assumptions.

The factory records would have been 'sent to Ottawa' after the war. The plants went back to civilian production and no one cared any more.

If the archives have that sort of primary record, the job will be both interesting and frustrating. Physically, most of the records are stored in Gatineau, Quebec which is across the Ottawa River from Ottawa itself. There have been attempts to collect the data from the primary records in various manufacturing histories of WWII. Col. CP Stacey was the official historian, and his footnotes and bibliographies would give you some reverse look-up guidance.
