We would need to find out how many were manufactured and how many were shipped overseas. I recall Bart Vanderveen publishing an article on the subject of the vehicles shipped back to Canada after WW2.
Here are more photos of F60Bs parading in the town of Scheveningen on Queens Day, 30 April 1952. At least four were in the parade, sporting their postwar Canadian Army Registration. One is "83-365", the other numbers are obscured.
