Is it possible that people previously saw the 'MURPHY' stamp on the silver badges and automatically associated it with Montreal?

In his book 'Eagles Recalled', Warren Carroll shows these wings and notes they are marked 'Murphy, Montreal'. I'm not sure how accurate that it (as all those I have seen have been Murphy/Sterling or Sterling/Murphy) but it is one source. The book has a number of errors both in the text and the captions, and the RAF Ferry/Transport Command section isn't extensive, but it can't be ignored.
I think there are other examples of Canadian badges out there which are 'Murphy Montreal' marked too.
