Wingmaster made in Canada?

I have a 12ga Wingmaster dated 1960 (barrel code is EGB) that is marked "Remington Arms of Canada Limited Made in Canada". The serial number is also quite low being a 4 digit number with a v suffix. Barrel proof mark is also different, it is RCEP. Anybody have any info or seen many others like it, i haven't been able to find much info.

RemingtonCanada's web site doesn't indicate any manufacture in Canada. I suspect they assemble some guns in Canada from U.S. made components. A letter or an e-mail to them might get more information.
