I haven’t researched this but it seems likely that at that time Commonwealth preferences meant that it was significantly cheaper to buy from Canada than from the US of A, hence the use of the Canadian engine which then got talked up by that consummate marketeer Tony Crook.

As far as I know nobody has yet come up with confirmation that Bristols modified the engines in any respect.
