Default Canadian DTs

I have invested in two books on Diamond T 980/981 trucks, and I wondered whether anyone had read them?The first is by Pat Ware of Warehouse Publications, though the other has not arrived yet. I have found some ineformation from the DND papers from late 1941 which refers to the orders for a few Federal and Diamond T tractors. This is an extract from the wordage about two manuals, one Canadian and one US that a guy has for sale:

"The original maintenance workshop manual for the 6x4 transporter model 980 from the Diamond T motor car co. Details - covers serial numbers 9801709 to 9802385. a very comprehensive workshop manual covers contract numbers Canadian CD LV332, CD LV464, CD LV493, CD LV509. July 1942. form 980-3. This is an A4 size manual, illustrated throughout.C649-DT1.


This is the original maintenance workshop manual for the 6x4 transporter model 980 from the diamond T motor car co.
Details - a very comprehensive workshop manual covers USA registration numbers 526859 thru 529258. October 1942. TM-10-1255 form 980-5. This is an A4 size manual, there are 168 pages, illustrated throughout.contract number W-938-QM-11594. Inside front cover is printed a message from the war department, washington, july 6 1942 {sic.}."

Note the Canadian contracts and the serial numbers.

Excuse my ignoarance but apart from the 975/A what other DTs did the Canadians use? 968?
