I have a pair of Canadian broad arrow C marked shorts.
I’ll dig them out, if you want a photo.

Thank you both. The Australian ones are nice. I believe they are RAAF? The other pair that look similar but with a rear pocket,seem to have small differences so may be privately purchased? It is a nightmare to assess!
Photos of Canadian shorts would also be very helpful,thank you.
Grimebox - do you know where the seller got them? It seems they are an antique dealer, I may email them.
They accepted an offer,so I'm happy. May let a couple of pairs go and keep one.

Interesting! I didn't see them. They look First World War style to me.
You got them shorts for a good price. My 1941 pattern KD shorts came from an 'op' shop in Australia for $4.95!
I have never found a satisfying guide to KD shorts. I've not found one on here. Perhaps we should begin!

Well I’m all for learning! The only thing that I can say about KD shorts is that in my experience they rarely have a label.

Here's my Indian made pair for a comparison.
