British OD, specifically SCC15.
The Brits did enough work when doing the conversion that it's generally accepted that they repainted the entire vehicle as opposed to spot painting the affected areas.
There was no "Canadian" OD. By the end of the war, the vehicles we were building in Canada were apparently being painted in US OD sourced from US suppliers versus the SCC15 being applied in the UK.
Canadian vehicles being painted (repainted, actually) overseas used SCC15. Those being painted and repainted in Canada were done in US OD9 (whatever the @&%@! shade that is...).
