Chris, what a question you just brought up about crazy 8s.

That jeep was on the DA for the Lorne Scots in Brampton.

I drove it many times, the first time being a rehearsal for an annual inspection held at one of the Air Canada hangars on Airport Road c. 1976.

This vehicle definitely had a pedestal mount for a GPMG, yet Frank von R, who owns it now, says there's no evidence of such an installation.

I've checked with retired members of the Lorne Scots who remember most definitely that a pedestal mount was installed in crazy 8s.

This mount was internally installed a la "Rat Patrol: type, not side mounted as you quote,which would have been an Armoured Recce unit (i.e Queen's York Rangers)

The last two numbers of the CFR do not refer in any way to a call sign.
