The truck on the right is Gizmo the Nov. 22, 1956, M135. 113506074 is stamped in the frame.
Does that mean we had at least 6074 M135's manufactured in Canada?

My M135 was made on 23 Nov 1956, and bears serial number 6078.
The history on mine is pretty bland: CFB Calgary until about 1980 and then it went to CFB Winnipeg. I almost suspect it was in war storage at both locations. The truck only had about 23,000 miles on it and never saw camo or a paintbrush.
There were also some US trucks that made it into the Cdn system. I saw the remains of a XM216 with a very low serial number, crossed cannons, and a 1954 Cdn CFR number.
