Good question. Certainly early vehicles didn't (the decal wasn't around then) but when did they start and were they on everything? Certainly every radio set, chorehorse and spares box and Inglis pistol had them. I once had a R.E.L. Canadian rangefinder that did.

Here is one I found on my Dodge APT,

That looks like a 4” Barry

[Barry Churcher]

Yes, 4 inch Kevin. Hidden in that secret place that we all have and can never find are some 4 inch and 1 inch originals. When this old mind remembers that secret safe place I will post photos.

Has anyone seen them on heavier armour other than carriers and armoured cars such as Ram and Sexton? The Ram being a cast hull might have posed a problem to a water slide transfer but a Sexton with its slab sides should have been ideal.

I think from an earlier posting on this thread it has been established that October 1943 was the start date for these decals, so I believe that the Ram tanks were manufactured before that date. The Sexton may qualify but again I don't think it has been established if everything manufactured after October got slapped with a "Canada" decal or just selected contracts.

Here's another carrier, owned by Erik Jostad in Norway with remains of an original decal ca. 3" in diameter.

I think the stencil above the decal reads "NOT TO BE STOWED ON DECK"
