The PRC77 was combined with the AM2060 to become the GRC160 vehicle set.
The military did many trials comparing UK sets with US equipment. The Library & Archives in Ottawa has listings for these tests. They may not be released to the public though.

Interesting... that means the WS19 control unit (17?) I saw in eBay with "510" in place of the usual WS38AFV, WS31AFV or WS88AFV position for the 'C' set was probably Canadian and for the PRC-510 rather than my original thought of the A510. (It makes a lot more sense that way: the PRC-510 had an option of a 24V vehicle supply unit.)
On the declassification of documents: if Canadian rules are anything like the UK ones then anything classified "RESTRICTED" or below should expire after 30 years and be available to the public. (You may have to ask, of course!) The actual hardware is two generations out of date, and unlikely to be in service anywhere.
