Default Phonetic alphabet

As we know, there was a British/Commonwealth Phonetic Alphabet during WW2, as well as a US one. The US one has survived to become the NATO version.

Does anyone know the origin of this Parody version of the Phonetic Alphabet? I believe it dates from around the ww2 period, quite possibly from a British comedian, but there is certain Canadian bias. Some of them you will have to say out loud to "get them".

A for 'Orses
B for Mutton
C for Th' Highlanders
D for rential
E for Peron
F for vessence
G for get it
H be for beauty
I for Tower
J for Oranges
K for Sunday
L for Leather
M for Sis
N for lope
O for the Moon
P for relief
Q for a bus
R for Askey
S ?
T for two
U for Me
V for la France
W for Quits
X for Breakfast
Y for Girlfriend
Z for breeze
