I don't think this French version of the manual was aimed at French military (who tended more to have stocks of US vehicles rather than Commonwealth), but was more a post-war Domestic publication provided for multi-lingual users in provinces such as Quebec.

The fact that these manuals have not appeared in Dutch or Portuguese (who were prodigious Colonial users of CMPs and MCPs post-war) indicates that they were not intended for secondary market military users.

Were any of the wartime manuals (MB-F1, MB-FUC01, MB-C1, MB-C2, etc) printed in French for Quebecois Canadian Soldiers?
