Hey Charlie:
Yes the LX was sold in Canada briefly as was the AE. Pretty much it was just a test run to see how the new ideas (disposable bags, mechanical brain etc) would go over here before they incorporated them into the Canadian designs. (The 80 series machines which used these designs didnt come out till 1957) Interesting side note is that the AE was sold here with a full set of attachements, not the combination ones as they were only sold with the bottom of the line Z54. A top of the line vacuum was expected to come with a full set of attachments and a kit to keep them handy. I've included a scan of the instruction book leaflet for comparison.
