A complete summary
As stated in the beginning, I certainly do not have all of the answers regarding Cookers, Portable No.2, but hopefully the information I have presented can prompt further discussion on this topic.
I recognize that there is some potential that my claims regarding the true identity and designation of the Canadian stoves could cause some controversy (and maybe I am wrong) and I welcome discussion or further evidence on the matter.
The research that I have conducted has been mainly based on files that I can access via the internet.* On the Library and Archives Canada site there are 2 more Canadian Military Headquarters - London files that are visible:

These 2 files likely contain additional information which could assist in further developing a complete picture of Canadian usage, unfortunately they are not currently available on-line.
