This Skink is shown at a 1946 "Army Days" exhibit held at the University Avenue Armouries, note the Queen's Own Rifles "D" Company sign over the doorway. Among the equipment on show was a tracked jeep and an armoured snowmobile. Even better, this example is sporting both a DND number (DND62-728) and a WD number (C-T-163932) !

Great find, thanks!

Of interest is the fact that this Skink is fitted with US steel chevron tracks, instead of Canadian Dry Pin (CDP) tracks. This could fuel the debate whether or not all CDP tracks were not fitted duing manufacture, but during a post-war retrofit.

Any pics of the Armoured Snowmobile you could share with us?

Thanks,
Hanno
