Jeeps in RCN and RCAF service

I've tried to find out about the markings on RCN jeeps but without much success. My contract 505 MB was in RCN service in Halifax. It had been repainted when I got it but it must have been grey at one time since I found grey paint lurking in all sorts of odd places - such as the fibreboard firewall insulation pieces.

I've tried to find wartime pictures of Halifax that might show an RCN jeep but no luck so far. Navy vehicles in Britain were all navy blue with large white RN lettering - but I'll bet the RCN used grey a la USN.
