However I discovered documentation that showed Canada ordered the cone shaped lamps to put onto carriers they were building! So that particular method of identification was no longer accurate.

Nigel, there is also photographic eveidence of Canadian Ford Carriers being manufactured with the UK-pattern cone headlights. How many? Certainly at least, up to the first 1000 (Probably!
Possibly
Maybe?
).
I agree that sharing information from a variety of sources without flaming people has seen the amount of collective information rapidly multiply in the last few years. It is always hard to provide a definitaive, concrete finding on some subject as someone will likely find proof of the exception to any rule at some later date. So the knowledge base keeps evolving and being refined.
