Further to my last, I went back and checked Davids links to the pictures.
From what I see, the first link appears to have purely American style jeeps albeit with cmd numbers while the second link does show what appears to be a CDLV 505 contract jeep w/ camo.
CDLV 241/242 were slatgrills
CDLV 505 were stamped grills
Realizing that Canada used C/D numbers for vehicles supplied us, I am wondering now where and/or how US supplied jeeps were requisitioned? Were they assigned a C/D number or purchased through some other means? Not knowing exactly about the workings of the lend-lease agreement, I am unsure of how these jeeps would have been procurred into out inventory?
Anyone care to enlighten us?
