They used the Leo Is and Challenger during the war, and replacements of Leo Is lost in combat showed up in Canadian ports with their serial numbers sanded off. Turns out that as the Bundeswehr replaced the Leo I with the Leo II, Leo Is not sent to their Territorial Army units wound up in Canada. Postwar, the Canadian Army adopted the Challenger.
