Default WD numbers for captured equipment

Mike,
Bad news on the Legion fire. I wasn't aware that a CC was located there.
I came across a file at archives which listed all of the WD numbers issued for captured vehicles impressed into Brit/Cdn service. These were mostly buses and cars and were used for leave (buses) vehicles as well as MilGov staff cars.
What is interesting about the German halftrack is the word "Canada". I wonder if this was the military equivalent of pissing on a a bush? i.e. This is mine, it's going to Canada and no, you can't have it!?
