Default 75mm GMC on Half Tracks M5/M14

Hello. I am looking into the conversion of International Harvester half tracks to the 75mm GMC spec. factory mounted on M3 Half Tracks. I have only seen photos from late '44 and '45 of them in Canadian service (e.g. RCD) in NWE.
These were briefly discussed a thread from 2012-13. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ght=Half+track .
Is anyone aware of any further/new information?

I was aware there were discussions regarding replacement fire support vehicles for Armoured Car Regiments when the M3 based GMCs wore out and couldn't be replaced from US stock. However these vehicles look like they are field conversions using the gun and mount switched into readily available M5 and M14 vehicles. Would this be an Unit or Corps workshop conversion?
Thanks.
