Hi Alastair.

Just a thought on Ford engine manufacturing. It might be a case that Ford's engine plant in Canada was maxed out. With all their commitments for CMP's, various AFV's, etc, they may have had to call in an engine plant from Ford's American operations to fabricate engine parts or entire assemblies. These parts would then likely bear the required Canadian part numbers, but would have had Made in USA markings as well. Their V8 was a very popular engine and I believe there was even a marine version of it commercially available prior to the war.
