It appears this one was unloaded while still at CFE.

Looks like there were 42 x 10 tonne MAN trucks:

2 x TRUCK, REPAIR AND RECOVERY, 10-TM, 8X8, W/45-TMM CRANEAND 20-TM WINCH, CDN 3.
20 x TRUCK, CARGO, 10-TM, 8X8, W/WINCH, CDN 1.
20 x TRUCK, CARGO, 10-TM, 8X8, W/12-TMM CRANE AND WINCH, CDN 2.

None appear to have made it back to Canada.

Thank you Scott for shedding light on this.

It is great to record our history on this forum and give it a place to live and be of use and educate others.

I will now go looking for more CFE kit

These trucks were bought I believe by then brigade commander Gen Fox to allow his logistical support to get with the times and deliver the goods. When they introduced females into the support services out with the combat arms units this was the vehicle of choice for some of the ladies. This truck supported us in the VIII CH with ammo and parts and it was a great truck just don't have the windows closed on the tank range. The smaller 7 tons built in Canada just sat in the 4 air def compound while I drove a 1976 5 ton with 2 fuel cells and a fuel trailer around Germany on my last year 91-92 keeping the Leopard C1's topped up. We also had 4 tank haulers Elephants I think they were called with FUMSU. I am still trying to get one of their combat slip ons for my collection.

This is it 311 Forward Mobile Support Unit example that I have in my collection.
