Reviving an old thread with pictures of a maintenance manual listing SM 2561 (not mine):

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."
