Default Firefly?

Is the tank really a Firefly or perhaps just another one of the Post-WWII E8s that are everywhere in Canada?

Default Grizzly Firefly

According to the register of surviving Grizzlies, it's CT-160258. CMHQ obtained (with some cajoling) three Firefly turrets from the British, which were sent to Canada in 1945, to be fitted to Grizzlies for gunnery training. So pace the DND puff it's no Normandy veteran, still a rather unique tank.
