I am researching Canadian military vehicles and especially want to find lists of CAR / CFR numbers of vehicles used on UN missions so that we can where possible, identify surviving examples.
e.g. Here in the Vancouver, BC area we have a 1967 M38A1 CDN2 CFR 67-08254 that I found original UN decals on under the camo paint while it was still in the surplus dealer's yard and a later owner found 3 Cypriot coins under the gas tank. We want to confirm its UN service with documents.

A local fellow, Grant McAvoy, has a Ferret Mk. I ex-UN (likely Cyprus) but sadly he was unable to find the CAR/CFR number for a positive ID.
I am trying very hard to identify the jeeps and Ferrets used with UNEF and UNFICYP. I would welcome copies (or originals even better) of shipping lists, vehicle state reports and photos of said vehicles. I have located some ex-Canadian UNFICYP Ferrets - including one in Texas! Would also like to communicate with former drivers of these vehicles.
