C206 Manufacturers

Hi everyone. I'm looking for the unknown manufacturers of these C206 metal cases. I know there wasn't any information available, but has anything come to light in the meantime? Thanks for your help.

Any chance BP/C could be "Building Products of Canada"? It was established in 1925 with the merger of "Bird & Son" (est. 1905?) and the "Rubberoid Company", and has been in continuous business ever since. Today it is known as "BP Canada" (not to be confused with BP Canada Ltd. which is the British Petroleum Company name in Canada). The "Building Products of Canada" logo/monogram has always included "BP" - either stand-alone, in an oval, or in a C.

I have no idea if they produced C206 boxes in WWII, but they were a sizable company even during WWII so I would guess that they had some significant contribution to manufacturing for the war. Today they have plants in Point Rouge QC, LaSalle QC, and Edmonton AB.
