In the book "Europe WW2" (Canadian Military Historical Society) , the Recce Cars (Otter and Humber LRC) are listed in the "B" section as well as the Trucks Armoured (M3A1 and C15TA) .
Only the Scout Cars and Armoured Cars are in the "A" section.

Hello Patrice, your are right. The manual “Canadian Military Headquarters. Vehicle Data Book (Restricted). 1944“ list the Recce cars under the B-vehicles section

That manual also has a note on the placement of WD Numbers, but no number ranges:
