Not sure if it answers all of your questions, but this is as complete an accounting of the Juno plan as I have seen.

Kevin:

Extremely useful link! Last night I had a 2 hr interview / conversation with Stanley Fields (5th Field Company RCE) (age 95) who landed on Juno Beach. He knew he'd landed at Bernieres sur Mer, but as an ordinary soldier never knew his section's particular beach plan name. The link to the load lists was crucial in putting a name to his beach as Nan Red. The Vol 2 of the Canadian Military Engineer history (p 267) describes their activities and ties in to a particular casualty, Lt D Stalker who was killed in his Jeep. The company later named a Bailey Bridge after Stalker.
