I have seen some Jacks with as you say Canadian sticker and those jacks were 78 and up. It is the real GM item. Not a repro.
Never seen any 68 to 75's with the Canadian sticker.
Hope this helps.

According to my "Corvette Restoration Guide" all 70-72 jacks should have an "A" stamped on the the chassis contact pad. The letter is a Logo for Auto Specialities Manufacturing Co. which is in Canada.
