Default Westminster Regiment (Motor)

those are the Correct markings for the Westminster Regiment (Motor) during ww2.
The Regiment was part of the 5th Canadian Armoured Division during the war.
Hofmeisters mighty Maroon Machine. as a Mechanized infantry regiment.

Check out Canadian soldiers.com for vehicle marking info.

Default Yes I know that ...

Yes I know the markings are correct as has already been stated.
I am looking for confirmation of the census number and the overall configuration and colour scheme.

If the volunteers with the museum have email addresses, they are likely their personal ones. If you go through the regiment or the mailing address, you can be sure to make contact with someone.

BTW, the weather is always worst end of Jan and early Feb, so there may have been a conscious decision to minimize coverage or attendance at the museum.

So the picture of the Scout car with the King on it is not a Canadian one? Thanks, Rob
