Another one from R.V. Lury;
Quote:
By 6 June (1944), 596 C15TAs had been received by CAOS (Canadian army overseas) and, by early September, sufficient C15TAs were on hand that first Canadian Army could begin replacing its White Scout Cars and US half-tracks.
...
By 3 January 1945, CAOS had received 918 C15TAs, of which 445 had been issued to units in Italy and 465 in Northwest Europe.
That plus the goldflake pictures to me is enough evidence that there should've been enough to equip A Motor battalion and if it was A battalion, my best guess would still be the Westies.

I will still look out for something more conclusive but at least I feel confident enough that it is not going to be a dead end.
