I personally don’t know the history of these amalgamations but I believe this Reddit comment may be correct
From this post, possibly showing another one of these vehicles
Can anyone identify? : r/TankPorn
And here is another post exhibiting a different tank as evidenced by the camo, so evidently this combination was constructed on more than one Matilda

Yeah, it’s basically a home job frankentank. One could argue it’s almost real enough for WT, but it kinda aint lol.
So I was on the website of Australian company Electro Optic Systems who manufacture RWS among other things and came across this promo image on the flyer of their heavy duty R800 RWS.

Full specs of the weapon station are on the flyer. But basically it’s a Mk.44S 30mm Bushmaster in an unmanned turret on an LAV III, possibly with some other modifications from Armatec if you can find more specifics. While this RWS is capable of also using Spikes or Javelin ATGMs, I don’t see one fitted in this photo.
What we need to do for having a chance to get Canada in war thunder?
There’s really nothing you can do. We’ve made the suggestion. A high number of people have voted yes. But it may still get ignored. We’ve done as much as can be done, now you hope and pray.
You could join the Discord server and help out there (it’s linked in the tree), as more help is always useful.
And you could vote and comment(commenting helps as it allows more people to see the suggestion) on all the Canadian suggestions:
Else, it’s as GTP_Paulie says all we can do is hope.
I won’t be useful, so I will wait ^^"
also make detailed and unique suggestions for some of the specific vehicles you would like to see in the game helps.
With what happening rn in the world, I hope Canada won’t be a sub tree for the US
Necroreplying here, but I really do hope that the Centurion Mk.5 (SS.11) is in fact real, it could provide Canada with their own unique version of the tank.
I am not sure where a reference for such a construct could be found however, but I know that personal galleries of former service members occasionally reveal other interesting unit modifications in online spaces.

Yeah ive seen training reference but nothing concrete enough to make me feel like i have enough to make a valid suggestion.
This but replacing south african sub-tree
Why?
Won’t happen. Gaijin already stated that they won’t add Canada as a separate tree.
Because it makes more sense politically and Canada probably has more players than SA to warrant a tree.
Also I know their stance but that won’t stop me from mentioning how bad of a decision it was to add India and SA instead of Canada and AU to the British tree.
both still wouldnt happend either way, maybe 1 but both would have been unfair additions at the end of the day
Why not Canada with Australia as sub tree
Maybe for a low rank AA similar to what Sweden have.
Another vehicle i didnt list because i couldnt find enough information on it was the AVGP Wolverine. From information ive been able to find since: I believe it was a prototype called the Javelin Air Defence Special Equipment Vehicles (AD SEV) which was trailed by 18 Air Defence Regt. RCA in April 2002.
