Here's what I've managed to dig up for you:

A 1953 Dodge M37, if it got shipped to Korea immediately in 1953 from the production line for issue to the Van Doos, would have had the unit sign 67 on a solid green square and represent 3 Bn.

BUT, that was not 1 Cdn Inf Div...it was 25 Cdn Inf Bde which was deployed to Korea. Formation sign was a red crusader shield with Canada across the top, a maple leaf in the middle, surrounded by two laurel wreaths, the latter three in yellow.

By June 1954, that unit sign was taken over by 4 Bn The Canadian Guards.

So...that was the situation with a 1953 M37 in that year.

Domestically, I don't know what the unit/formation signs would have been.

Although this doesn't fully satisfy your question, I hope it provides you with some information.

PS...I'm starting to think that your signs were applied by an owner who took some license.

There was never a 67 on a red square, there was a 67 on a brown square, but that was during WWII.

Credit for information due to Barry Beldam, Canadian Vehicle Markings...1939 to 1954, Vol 1, Ed 4, 2002.
