I have the marking specs for US 105-mm How HE M1 rounds, which I think conform to NATO standards, so should be close, if that would help.

The explosives industry in Canada has become concentrated around Valleyfield near Montreal. Canada has small arms ammunition plants near Quebec City as well. Most/all are owned by General Dynamics. I found a Rand Corporation report that explained in smart arguments, that civilian for-profit ownership of certain defence industry sectors made more sense than to leave them in Crown Corporation or government departmental ownership.
