Hi Rick,
You should have called upon Mr. Cooper and Mr. Nason who have both
recently been working on commonwealth M10s. Mark's is in the track-link
gallery. I have not laid my hands on either m10 kit yet so I have not
really looked into it, but i had a look through my ref collection tonight
and the couple of pics I found of canuck M-10s showed the to have metal
chevron tracks not the rubber chevron variety. This is hardly conclusive
however. Further some shots I found of brit m10s(from the same stocks I
assume) showed them to have rubber chevron tracks.
While the pundits have said the three bar cleats are not the best choice
for m10s that is not conclusive as for canuck ones, specifically, I would
say you were safe with either metal or rubber chevron.
As for markings, I will look into it and get back to you. Off hand I would
say the 4th armoured div. green square avec gold maple leaf for the
divisional symbol along with a white 77 on a blue and red square for the
unit serial. I'm sure there are other options but that is all that comes
immediatley to mind as I am not sure if the anti tank regiments of either
2nd or 3rd canuck infantry divisions had M10s.
later
