The tunic is missing the belt. I have one for ordnance dated 1942 to o. d. Cowan. The small pocket is correct. I am not sure about the lanyard, or the cpac patch. It could be correct, but have neither on my example.
Also a piece of the right pocket flap is missing or tucked under. The closure snap is pictured.
The shoulder canada flashes on mine are green, and embroidered. Almost looks like german style stitching.
Cowan was a lieutenant colonel in the Canadian ordnance. His tunic also has one medal bar. I checked his background and he never went over seas, just worked in Ottawa.
The collar dogs on my tunic are not enamelled.
Have you looked inside the inner pocket for any tags?
Also look if a previous canada shoulder flash was in place. I see a line under the one you posted, but picture is not clear. This could be an early tunic which the original owner replaced the original canada patch when adding the cpac patches later on.
