I am not sure if the DHH CMHQ reports have something on this.

... something on this can be found in Appendix 'A' to CMHQ Report No. 92 (General Activities, Canadian Army Overseas June 1942 - April 1943) and in CMHQ Report No. 95 (Attachment of Canadian Officers and Soldiers to First British Army in TUNISIA, 1942 - 1943) ...
