I have seen a few early carriers, and even scrounged parts off a couple. Other than some electrical components like the speedo or the headlamps, everything was Ford Canada. Some of the earlier cast stuff was in Bronze, rather than in steel, but all were marked FMCo41.
It would not make sense to ship cast stuff in any kind of quantity to Canada, when we had the resources and skills to cast them ourselves.
I have noticed that some early Cdn castings had the part numbers hand stamped into them rather than cast in. If super dave was to look over his carrier components, I believe he may find some early 41 dated stuff mixed in there which I scrounged off a Cdn carrier in the 500 serial range.
