Default Canadaian Automobile Machine Gun Brigade Title.

I very recently picked up this Canadian AMGB title, it`s 6.4cms long, but I`m unsure if it`s "right", opinions please, good or bad.

Default title

I've not heard of that name...I wonder if this is a First World War title to the Ambulance Medical Canadian Battalion.

That is what is throwing me on this one; the designation of the unit. I thought the Canadian Motor MG wore the CMGC titles.
There is a title for the Eaton's Motor Machine Gun Brigade, EMMGB, and I vaguely remember one other one, but I don't remember which unit. Maybe Borden's Battery. And it may be that unit...
Did any other contingents use the Colt MG as a design element?
