To be exact it is a Northrop 8A-5 (the A-33 designation had not yet been assigned)
The aircraft and those that followed was for the Norwegian Training Facility 'Little Norway' outside Toronto and not the Canadian Air Force.
The date on the flip side is interesting, making me think this is a test flight and not the actual delivery flight. Acording to Norwegian sources the first three 8A-5 were delivered on 2 Nov 1940. But I suppose it is possible the actual delivery flight may have been "slow and easy"...
Anyway Björn can give everyone chapter and verse with regard to this aircraft which I believe is the first one, D-1 c/n 715
