I grew up in the USA, but now live in Calgary, Alberta (since Sept. 2012).

I have seen older Canadian Electroluxes that look similar to American ones. Yet Canadian model designations are different to those of American machines.

I have a question: Are the Canadian machines direct versions of US models?

I own an AP280, a vintage 1982 Canadian Electrolux. Was this the Canadian version of a particular American model at that same time? If so, what was the corresponding American model?

I could ask the same about whether other Electroluxes I desire, including the model G, the Hospital G, and the 1205 (and other models) made in the USA, have corresponding Canadian models. Is there a Canadian version of the model G, or the 1205, for example? If so, what is the model designation of the corresponding models? I would like to find the Canadian versions for my "collection".
