Anyone have any more info on this? I happened to run across them on eBay this AM. Apparently was at Fort Knox in the 70's

Thats really interesting. I had no idea they existed. Thanks for posting those pictures.
This would certainly make for an interesting conversion.

One of the serious problems in planning against Canadian doctrine is that the Canadians do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.
