SM 2561
David and Hanno,
I can confirm that SM 2561 are the half-tracked Snowmobiles made by "Bombardier Snowmobiles, Valcourt, Quebec". The Vehicle Code for these were: BHT 8 - SNOW - 1 I have found some pics I have of one of them still in running condition (sligthly modified), but I only have the negatives left. I will try to scan the negatives - otherwise I will have to make new paper copies. I will also look through some books to see if I can find pics of them in civilian use in Norway. From the data plate: VEHICLE CODE BHT 8 - SNOW - 1 CHASSIS SERIAL DND 100 - 80 ENGINE SERIAL 3 G - 39552 F TRANSMISSION SERIAL Z 23873 ORDER NO SM 2561 DATE OF MFG 10 - 15 - 42 The owner of this one have two, the other one have CHASSIS SERIAL DND 100 - 81 and DATE OF MFG 10 - 16 - 42 (I don't have more information for that vehicle as I have never seen it - but I will see if I can manage to take some photos the next time I am up where they are located).

Bombardier maintenance manual
That would be a nice read. Postwar Bombardiers, there were so many different models , can be pretty sparse on information at times .

The CWM has a Bombardier Snowmobile on display, though it is not listed on their site https://www.warmuseum.ca/collections/
The attached picture comes from http://silverhawkauthor.com/tanks-an...rt-ii_989.html where it is incorrectly captioned as a "Bombardier Penguin Mk III Armoured Snowmobile, 1943." Bombardier-Penguin-Mk-III-Armoured-Snowmobile--1943--Canadian-War-Museum-11-Aug---90-_resized.jpg
