The unit sign Jon is talking about would be a white 64 on a black square background.

Except that...

White 64 on black would designate Tor Scots Unit sign 1st Cdn Army, Jun 1944.

White 53 on red would be 2nd Cdn Inf Div, as at Aug 1942 as well as Cdn Army May 1942. (Credit:Barry Beldham).

May I assume that Tor Scots, being an MMG Bn would have been, at various times, slotted into 2 Div, as well as being allocated as an Army asset?

Fascinating, eh?
