Sent you a transcript of it this morning.
What needs to be remembered is that at different periods after the war the Canadian Army (Regular) was organized first as a brigade, then as a division and then as brigade groups. Each change would have changed the serials on a vehicle's AoS as the situation dictated.
The appendix I quoted for my answer, from 1963, was for the period the Army was organized into brigade groups (1958-66), each group using identical serials. During the period the Army had a divisional organization (circa 1954-58), divisional serials would have been used and I don't think that they would have differed greatly from those used in the Second World War.
Also remember that the Reserves were organized into six divisions during the 50's, four infantry and two armoured, along with the troops required for two corps. Who knows how many different serials, of all kinds, were being used during this time.
It's a good field for study, with lots of answers yet to be found.
Cheers,
Dan.
