Default Circa early 1970s Centurion, Chaffee, Sherman compound

I have pondered these images for a number of years but I do not know where they were taken.

Do any of the long-time members of the hobby recognize the scene?

My best guess is early 1970s in Ontario.

Thanks.

My first thought would be at Levy's down towards the river.

The side view of the Centurion with a very large white stencil might provide a clue if the stencil can be enlarged to read it.

Interesting set of photos.

Default Vehicle Compound

Perhaps a compound of training pool AFVs in the early 1960s? Borden or Meaford?

The stencilling on the side plate of the Centurion is:

WARNING CLOSE DRAINS
INSTALL DRAIN PLUGS AND
SECURE BOTTOM PLATES
BEFORE OPERATING
