Civilian or Military tent?

[maple_leaf_eh]

I lean towards it being a civilian model. Sort of from the 60s when car-camping was the thing and people were buying supplies relying on some old fashioned equipment principles.

The canvas is quite bright, although there were bell tents that shade too. The screens seem too, shall we say, progressive for the military. ('QM went to a lot of trouble for you to be issued bug juice, soldier. Use it!')

I am skeptical that this tent was SWW military, especially with the lack of any markings and the zippers - or perhaps it may be post-SWW. I ran a check through my images and found this one from Wainwright, Alberta in 1983. The British were using something similar which in a long shot may be were this example originated.
