Sorry I was off for a while. Good info here. In the regular army, the US family of radios replaced the Brit C42 in the middle 60's. In most vehicle installations, except the Centurion, the American harness was used. This included the Ferret. Only in the Centurion was the total Brit harness retained till the Centurion was withdrawn from service. The junction between the US radio system and the Brit harness was done at the JD9. So all Canadian Centurions retained all the original junction boxes and wiring, headsets and handsets, tanoy microphone, IT telephone and reels cable with the green hornet hand set.
