Gentlemen I am amazed at your research skills and the power of the internet!
So it remains to be seen if the halftrack vehicle was in Ontario or Quebec, but the photo I posted appears the same as that referenced by Richard. The colour photo of the truck conversion suggests there is a survivor somewhere. Thanks very much for the responses.
