Hanno,
I reread the Lend-Lease list on Oliver's posting and realised it was for 2,000+ to the British Empire, that would of course, include Canada. Looking in "Canadas Fighting Vehicles", on page 143, is a FWD SU semi-trailer tractor with CL number on it, for pulling plant transporters. knew I had seen it somewhere!

Hanno, Richard,
I'm fascinated how your discussion evolves.
I have nothing beyond the excerpt from the statistics, maybe my COE assumption is wrong.
Bart Vanderveen writes :
"In 1944 Ordnance ordered 1460 [FWD SU-COE] cargo trucks, followed by 2700 for the prime mover role."
That fits quite well with the LL numbers.
Never saw a conventional SU anyway.
Regards, Oliver.
