Great photographs, although without doing a comprehensive search, I believe the vehicle is a Mudcat and not the Armoured Snowmobile. I am though sure that it is not an Armoured Snowmobile.

I made a copy of my original cover for use in the Carrier. I ended up using canvas from some surplus CF duffel bags PrincessAuto was selling at the time. The hardest part to sew on the machine was the small side piece that attaches to the right side. Im still amazed my Mom's sewing machine was able to sew through that much canvas.
