British/Canadian would make sense since this one's in Canada...
So is it missing anything else apart from the carrying bag?
All straps there you think?

It looks like it has all the straps, but I am sure the elastic is flat, and I doubt that there is an exhale valve on it, but the filter is intact (at least one side is not rusted through) Finding a haversack will be the big problem, but they occasionally turn up with an American mask.
