Default Reel Info Needed

This reel rack is dated 1954 and that and Canada, is all I can make out on the plate. Is this the one that goes in a Jeep or is it some kind of ground mount? Any information, literature or of course photos would be most appreciated. A friend of mine found it in an antique store and rescued it for me just before it was scrapped. He knew I had the reel hand cart so he grabbed it. I guess it sat in the store for a long time and didn't sell.
Cheers,
Barry

It looks like the one in the back of the Dodge 3/4 ton line vehicle, but the photos are hard to reference the actual size. snow and a sidewalk crak are not good for comparison.

Hi Rob
I apologize for the poor photography. Here are a couple more photos with my
lawn mower for comparison. I couldn't find any driveway without cracks.

Hi Barry, I concur with Rob. I believe it looks like the 3/4t SMP reel rack.

Barry, so good to see the new tractor didn't start to grow roots in the back of the S15...W

Wilf. as soon as I got the mower home I unloaded it and took it for a road test. Janet didn't complain about riding mower number eleven. What a girl.
Thanks for loading it in the truck for me.
Thanks Rob and Chris for your input. That gives me a direction to look.
Cheers,
Barry
