Tac signs, any other ID?
Also, try to establish CFR and Serial Number, then forward info plus pic to Frank von Rosensteil whose post is about 7 down, entitled M38A1, Cdn2, Cdn3.

Nice to note the 3 colour camo intact and relatively unfaded thanks to being tarped over for 20+ years.
Should help me with the paint job on mine, forthcoming.

This was the Jeep that was on the Western Command homepage.
The seller purchased the Jeep in 1988 and shortly after, parked the Jeep on wood blocks and covered it with two tarps and then moved out of the country. It was in full running condition at the time he parked it on Bowen Island (he drove it down to an Oregon MV Show in 1988). Recently the seller wanted to dispose of it as he was selling the property the Jeep was on and had not seen the Jeep in 24 years. After a significant number of email exchanges (as the seller lives in Singapore), we worked out a price for the Jeep sight unseen. Yesterday I went with two friends on a short ferry ride, luckily met a tow truck driver on the ferry and after about an 8 hour day including 2 hours with the tow truck, I had the jeep sitting in my garage. It is very complete including all of the data and wheelhouse patent plates and full softtop with doors, the only items missing are one rear lifting shackle, driver's side seat, and spare tire (the seller is sure he has the spare tire and seat and will look for it when he gets here in May). It will need a complete mechanical overhaul and new floors. Not bad for a "Forest Find". Other stuff I know about it:

Two thoughts go through my mind. Lucky you! and What a disgraceful way to treat a valuable running vehicle!
I wouldn't worry about the German marked part. Somethings are generic enough that they would have gotten into the supply system under normal circumstances. A piece of safety glass could have been shipped to Canada and cut to fit almost anything. It might even have been done at a glass shop in Vancouver. By the end of their service lives, the expected stocks of parts would have been exhausted and local purchase permitted. Rob Love will have stories on this topic, I'm sure. If the markings are genuine, you might get lucky flogging this vehicle back to the last unit. Very few authenticated examples get to make a round trip, and you may find a very willing buyer.

Foot type window washer was not a Cdn 3 thing. There were kits around for this, but it (and the column mounted horn button) were just some kind of shortcut, and not by the book. Aircleaner on the Cdn2 and Cdn3 were the same.
The glass was locally procured; not sure why you would have it from W Germany. Get scotty to do a search on the EDR viewer and he can get you the history of the Jeep.

My first CDN2 washer and button look like this:
  The new CDN2 washer squirter looks like this (shown to the left of the hood hinge in the black area), has a foot mounted rubber pump on the extreme left drivers side foot area and has a white coloured round plastic bottle near the solid state turn signal box:  The new CDN2 windshield markings:
