I can't add anything to the location or the types of vehicles, but the sedan has the formation sign of an artillery regiment. A white serial '42' on a blue-red rectangle indicates the senior field regiment in an infantry division. The serial 'Z' identifies the CO's vehicle. There were only two infantry divisions on the west coast during the war.

Cheers,
Dan.

The DND number on the door is interesting. It has the post-42/43 type numbering system, but what is unusual is the letter (appears to be an N or an H) in front of the numbers.

Dan, you say that this is an artillery regiment of an infantry division and that there were two of them on the west coast (I think the 6th and the 8th). I know overseas divisions had a similar unit signs for positions within them (ie. 55 on red was the senior regiment in the senior brigade of an infantry division so indicated RCR for the 1st Div., Royal Regiment of Canada for the 2nd and the Royal Winnipeg Rifles for the 3rd.). But was the overseas markings duplicated in the home defence 6th, 7th and 8th Divisions? I though their structure was a little different.
