Thanks Kev for your thoughts on this. Though engines at Windsor were assembled there, the components apparently mostly came from the Detroit plant as the Canadian plant had no foundry and forge. Though it's 1937, here's what was published in Auto Trader about the sourcing of Canadian parts.
The whole export business must have been quite complicated. Packard's Canadian plant build both RHD for the Commonwealth, Sweden, Japan and a few others, and LHD for other destinations. And the Detroit plant also built cars for export, both RHD and LHD, but not for export to the Commonwealth. And this was true not just for the juniors but for certain models of the senior cars. Must have been a bit of logistic nightmare.
