Here are 1942, 1943, 1944, and 1945 Ford production documents, each with a Canadian section.

This is a 1940-1944 Deliveries to Dealers document (last page out of 7, showing Canada domestic and export deliveries at the bottom). My understanding is that in overseas markers, dealers often did the assembling of kits, even for military units.

Not sure if any of these documents have been of help, or perhaps have raised even more questions! I'll see what else I can find.

Since Canadian Ford military cars are the subject of this post, it may be helpful to include the material I have on U.S. Ford military cars. (If anyone has O'Callaghan's book "Ford in the Service of America" they should note that these documents are the source for his data on passenger-cars.)

Looks like the 1941 Ford with the bonnet/hood up is a 6 cylinder model by the radiator shape.

Nice photo of the web of an R.A.A.F 1941 (?) Ford station wagon.
