From an information panel on site:

Harley Davidson WLC

Almost one quarter of the 88,000 Harley-Davidson motorcycles produced during the Second World War were built to Canadian Specifications.

Canadian dispatch riders and military police used the Model WLC (WL for its engine type, C for Canadian) in Canada and overseas in the Second World War and the Korean War. Post war North American consumers, many of them former soldiers, eagerly purchased surplus Harley-Davidsons for use in civilian life.
