    The P14 was little used in Canadaicon , a recent publication gives the number as 85 compared to c100,000 M17s. These P14s with ID strip appeared on the surplus market at the same time as Indonesian SMLEs, East indies pattern Dutch Mannlichers and M1941 Johnsons. I believe they are Dutch East Indies/ Indonesian.

    As a matter of fact my father in law didn't use a P14 but an M1917...I guess you're right. There were some issued to PCMR though, and M1917sn Ross, Winchesters, Savages... I'd still think there would have been some around for other uses though.
