Default post war wireless sets

Hi,
I realize this questions is focused on after WWII, but does anyone know what infantry sets the Canadian army used immediately after WWII?
Specifically, were the WS31 and the WS88 sets used by the Canadian army?
This is before the CPRC series of radios were introduced.

WS88 and SCR300 (US made, not British) were used in Korea. Canada also developed it's own version of the PRC10 called PRC510 (RT-5010).

Default Ws31

Thanks for the reply Bruce. As you may know, the WS31 is the British copy of the SCR-300-A. My set is in original as produced form. All Mk1's in the UK were modified into the Mk1/1.
Since this set is original and acquired in Canada it was suggested to me that possibly it was used/tested by the Canadian army and then discarded as unsuitable.
