Sean,
What I should have said was "maybe not so common in trucks and vehicles in Canada". I know they are trusted power plants in tractors and construction equipment, as I served my apprenticeship with a Massey Ferguson dealership and Perkins was owned by that company at one time.

Regarding the P6, they were often fitted in the Bedford QL in civvy street and a friend in South Australia has fitted its successor, the 6.354, in a QL, loads of grunt, over 5 litres compared to the old 3.5 litre petrol.
