There are the remains of the First Canadian Army marking on the front plate also, I attach a photo.

Hi Paul;
I figured that it was ‘459' and not ‘159'. The attached are an example of the markings used by the 32nd Reconnaissance Regiment (Royal Montreal Regiment), C.A.C. from approximately 25 January 1943 to 12 April 1944. On the left, the AoS marking with serial '459' and white bar below to denote 'Army Troops' and on the right, the Formation sign used by 'First Canadian Army Troops'.
Cheers
