I've seen a clearer shot of this photo before and if I remember right, there is a 'chalked' '69' on the centre of the armoured plate which covers the opening for the 105mm How. mounting. This being said and if it is carrying troops of the 2nd Cdn Inf Div, the 'chalked' '69' would suggest that the troops being carried are those of the South Saskatchewan Regiment (6th Cdn Inf Bde, 2nd Cdn Inf Div) whose AoS No. was '69'.

Mark,
Could this be another picture from the same sequence of photos you mentioned?
Seeing this, would your suggestion about the "69" still stand?
Cheers,
Hanno
