Most (if not all) british WW2 vehicles had a 2-pin socket, usually located at the rear of the vehicle. Maybe the Canadians had something similar?

The first two photos are two different types of socket I've encountered, the third photo is the corresponding plug (which as you correctly guessed, also fits the 11/12 cab rubber tail lights). The last two photos are the sad remains of a 2-pin socket that was fitted to my C15; bolted to the rearmost crossmember, and oriented upwards (so located between the chassis and rear body).
