It seems that a lot of the Cdn produced optics were marked with the Broadarrow only despite the items being for Canadian use. You will find the same marking on sniper telescopes, even though the majority of them (especially the non-British models) were for Canadian service.

Yours appear to be nicely marked in that they do not have the post war Canadian Arsenals conversion marking on them. Most of the ones in this country have the later designation and markings. They would mill off the REL and put the CAL mark on them instead.
