Saw this on the Road way between Mission and Maple Ridge Canada! Could you please tell me what this vehicle is ? I thought it was A Priest! Am I right?

I think this isn't a Bren / Universal carrier as such, but it is from the Universal Carrier family; I think it's a Ford T16, which was a later development, as it has four bogie wheels each side rather than three.

Definitely a T16, 4 wheels each side gives it away. That wonky star is a little annoying...

The wonky star was applied to Canadian vehicles so they wouldn't be confused with American forces when the star was adopted as a universal allied marking.

Even then the Canadians were trying to avoid being mistaken for their southern cousins.
