Nice mod - its always nice to see folk doing the 'other' vehicles rather than just the Panthers, et al.

I think you are safe, as I mentioned in my email, by using the 76 on blue/red - this seems to have been the unit sign for self propelled units of all armoured divisions, British or Canadian.

In any event, here is an example for the Fourth Canadian (Armoured) Division.
You could substitute any British or Canadian Armoured Divisional marking for the Division sign, the Unit sign (76) would stay the same.

Not quite true IMHBIO (... Humble But Informed ...). Each regiment had a unique number so the redcaps and others could instanly identify them on the move. Although, looking through my copy of Fortys' "British Army Handbook" I see you may indeed be correct. For Armoured Divs he has the RHA regts identified by the number 76, and RA regts using 74. The LAA Regt is 73, and the AT Regt (incl the TDs) was 77.
Also, I'm fairly sure the Brits didn'thave any SP regts in their grunt divs, but the Canucks had at least one such regt - maybe at corps/army level? 14th Canadian Fd Regt I think.
FWIW, in an Inf Div the numbers for the 3 RA regts were 42, 43, 44.
Now, Forty gives these numbers as 'examples' of numbers for an armd and inf div, so whether he has picked a div at random, and taken their numbers as typical, or whether ALL divs used the same numbers is unclear.
