Yes, the "C" is for Canada. In 1949 the Canucks started with this on the No. 4's they were cranking out. The 1944 and 1945 rifles did not have the "C", while the 1946 did.
The one difference there might be is that the British No 7 has bayonet lugs, while the CNo.7 does not.
The CNo. 7 was made in relativly large numbers, 20,000, each with a transit case. Many were crushed by the Candians, but they are not super rare, either.
There were three main receiver markings on the CNo. 7. It is a single loader, whilst the British No. 7 is magazine fed. There are some differences in the bolt.
The Brit rifle is sleeved, the CNo7 is new made. There is no functional difference between these rifles.
Hope this helps.
