A29 Canadian infantry training center was Camp Ipperwash.
The S on the upper front of the door just meant Suppressed (for stopping radio interference. ) The numbers are just the post 1943 DND numbers. The numbers for Army vehicles (but not motorcycles) started at 50-001 and went up from there. Yours appears to be 55-961 I also see the remains of MD1, which is military district one...also Ontario. Copied from Michael Dorosh's site: No. 1 - Headquarters: London, Ontario 1st Brigade Division Counties of Bothwell, Elgin, Essex, Kent, Lambton, Middlesex, Oxford, and the City of London. 2nd Brigade Division Counties of Bruce, Huron, Perth, Waterloo, and Wellington.

Very nice finds there. Now that they're recovered, what part of Saskatchewan did you find them at?
My HUP came from the Preeceville area as well as a few 15 CWT Fords. I miss those days of chasing down leads and then walking through the area to finally spot the silhouette of a CMP in the bushline. Great times. Congratulations,Derk

Involved picking up the F60 . Which went fairly smoothly with a properly working winch.
The truck looks pretty good out in the open I also hope they find the doors laying around And maybe the rear pintle section would be nice I'm impressed with the tires they are shockingly good and hold air With dates I'm going back to get the box , but it is quite rusty , because the fire department used it for a water tank, but it does have everything attached like the front rack and all tool boxes This truck spent along time at the Broadview fire department in Saskatchewan
