Default ID on Canadian Sight Telescope

The family went to the Cristie Antique Sale yesterday in Dundas looking for new/old details for the new house. While trolling the booths I came upon a military looking telescope. To cut a short story shorter, I am now in possession of a Telescope, Sighting, No. 37 Mk I(S), which, I believe, is the sighting telescope for a Ram Mk II. The sight was made in Canada and is stamped with the ^ Canada symbol. It was made in 1942 and (and this is the kicker) the reticule inside is marked not only for 6 pdr on the left, but M.G. on the right. Now, I can't think of any other vehicle than a Ram Mk II that would have a 6 pdr & co-ax that would come equipped with a Canadian built sight in 1942, can you? Churchills, Crusaders & Cromwells should have UK built sights, right?

Further markings are:

"R.E.L. ^CANADA"
"1942 4964-C"


If anyone has any specific info on the Ram sights, please let me know.
