I believe this picture to be from the same sequence of photos taken of Kangaroos carrying troops of the 4th Inf Bde, 2nd Cdn Inf Div on 7 Aug 44. I've seen a clearer shot of this photo before and if I remember right, there is a 'chalked' '69' on the centre of the armoured plate which covers the opening for the 105mm How. mounting. This being said and if it is carrying troops of the 2nd Cdn Inf Div, the 'chalked' '69' would suggest that the troops being carried are those of the South Saskatchewan Regiment (6th Cdn Inf Bde, 2nd Cdn Inf Div) whose AoS No. was '69'. The photo in question:

Hanno/Clive;
I knew I had seen this photo before, I've found the clearer shot, and sure enough, '69' is chalked on the armoured plate (see attached). Unfortunately, the reference given is for the IWM.
Cheers
