There are limitless possibilities as to where that vehicle went. There is a long standing tradition of borrowing vehicles for overseas missions. It could have been in Bosnia, Cyprus, Golan, Rwanda, etc. It may have been issued to a mission, and sent back to the Airborne without a jumper ever stepping foot in it.
Good luck with the hunt. Dan

White painted vehicles
In 1991 we had Itlises from SSF HQ&Sigs with us in Kuwait City in CANFORME EOD Tp. They were white on green on white on green. Three years earlier, those same vehicles had been used by a composite Signals Regiment that deployed between Saddam's army and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in 1988. Funny to think that for a short while, it was possible for a UN military force to operate freely and unencumbered in both countries. When the units were returned to Canada, a sausage machine reverted white kit to green. In fall 1990 the One Canadian Field Hospital was stood up, and enough of the other essential fighting and support parts build around them.

Let me know if you get tired of her. That's a piece of history I'd love to own.
