I knew there was a Dutch connection, so I searched for it and found here here http://www.artillery.net/beta/105how/:

Canada modified 96 of its 105mm C1 howitzers in 1995 to 1997 through RDM Industries of the Netherlands, primarily for equipping the Reserve Force units.

In return for the favour of all those CMP trucks you guys left behind in '45!?!
