Contact Ed Storey for his opinion. He is to Canadian military fabric and uniforms, what some of our fellows here are to metal and machinery.

Looks a lot like an early version of the 80 pounder tent. There was also a larger version nicknamed the 160 pounder. The names referred to the weight of the canvas when stowed in it's bag. They were giving away dozens of these tents back in the late 90s at a local regiment, but most were in the later green colour and of 60s vintage.

Harry,
Thanks for going through the trouble of setting it up, photographing and measuring it! I'm sure there is a demand for these original tents or repro ones, where's the supply? Here's the thread I posted earlier: British officers tent - used by Canadians?

I've got two of the "150 pounder" green tents, and it is true, they are heavy. Mine are 60's vintage, and in great condition still...they don't make fabric tarps like those anymore.
