On mine it says Canada in at least three places. First exactly where the later versions specify the length 50, 90 etc (there it says Canada instead), and again on back of the aperture ring, where it says Lens made in Canada) and finally on the front ring where the letters are Leitz Canada. So there should be no doubt where it is coming from.
