Default Canadian rebuild tag identification

Hi all,

Working on one of my old flatheads I picked up years ago, and discovered it has a rebuild tag on it. However I can’t seem to find any information with similar rebuild details on the tag. We’re Canadian rebuild tags different? Perhaps using “codes” for main, journal, size etc instead of stating them like most common rebuild tags?

Motor has C1BA on rear of block. I pulled the C8CM-c heads and confirmed 4” stroke, however appears someone has swapped the manifold for 3 bolt carb mount as I understand mercs had 4 bolt carb mounts

This motor also has two different water pumps (merc car one side and ford other, but their pulleys don’t align, someone likely tried to swap on what they had laying around) and also the front motor mount is not common to vehicle, leads me to believe this motor was used in a sawmill or pump and not a vehicle for the last part of its life. Needs a rebuild anyways, but curious on tag details and what I might find..


Rebuild tag attached for reference and a few photos
