You prompted me to look up a Canadian engine number I just found on an original registration document for a car my father bought in 1956. It is CA84604 (which seems to be January 1929 manufacture).
Found while cleaning out junk in our, so called "office", for a now at home worker yesterday.

Our Geelong Ford factory was owned by Ford of Canada.
This vehicle, on the document, says it is 1930 year of manufacture, vehicle number 4390, and was first registered on 15th December 1932.
