I know Calgary tanks used the Churchill VII Crocodile because there is one at the museum of regiments. Also the german figures that came with my pak 40 and hanomage have gas maske cases on their back, gas was not used during WWII so were these not worn during the later years?

Ref: Calgary tanks used the Churchill VII Crocodile - No Canadian Armoured Corps Regiment were ever equipped with the Crocodile - Geoff is right, by 1943 the Churchill Infantry Tanks had passed out of Canadian service, being replaced by Ram and then, Sherman - which were used through Sicily-Italy-NW Europe.

Ref: gas mask case - was part of the basic German web equipment throughout the war.
