Default looking for reference for Recce carrier

I'm speaking with a friend in our Legion branch, who was a member of the Canadian VIII (8th) Recce Regt. because I was asked to assemble a Staghound kit for a Sask museum, he tells me that they never used them in WW2, but that they used Bren Carriers (his words), that they had regular carriers, and "Anti-tank" carriers.
I might try to build up the anti-tank version if I could find anything of a reference to such a designation, all he's told me so far is that it may have been a bit heavier and faster, but not a great deal. Anti-tank armament seems to be referring to Piat(s?).
I don't want to press this veteran too much for info, as he is one of the quiet vets, but if I can get him interested over tea (or a beer if th' missus lets him out), maybe memories will come clearer.
Anyone have some knowledge of a Recce Regt. A.T. carrier?
Thanks for any help!
Bruce
