Bruce,

Welcom to M152 central and the forum. Nice truck! Where did you find it?
The tac signs must be just for fun because an inf div would have been in Mobile Command and not under the CFCC command. CFCC was a 'static' communications organisation. When it held M152s within the Communication Reserves, during the period 71 to 77, the trucks would have carried either a tac sign with a blue bottom and white top with a thin blue line intersecting, horizontally the white field; or a box outline similar to the inf tac sign except it would have had a single diagonal, bottom left rising to top right lightening bolt and two small vertical lines denoting Squadron (company level) on the top.
The winter cam was not universal with CFCC units, but nearly so with regular field units by the time the trucks finnished service. The other color green at the back I've never seen before.

To answer Dave.. about 1040 M152s were built for Canada. Few survive. Dave where did you get yours? Super Dave has one in Edmonton as well.

A good friend of Randy's left me with the IKE installation manual for the M152 (Radio Van) which I promised to make into a .pdf and pass around. I'll let you know when I've done this for those interested.

Here's a picture of my truck this weekend at Duncan's Classic truck show.
