It would not have been uncommon for a Canadian soldier of any rank to have modified a battledress blouse for a collared shirt and tie, particularly during the post-war period in Europe. It would have been saved for walking out purposes and not necessarily for parade wear.
The fact that yours is modified but without rank doesn't diminish its authenticity to me. I'm not the one to ask to authenticate your blouse but I don't see the modification and the badging as being a problem.
