I'm not sure the Ram/Jumbuck will see service in Europe, at least not on mainland Europe. The Dominion tanks while based on the Valliant aren't just Valliant's with a 25 pounder gun in the turret. They use different Engines and suspension along with the ancillary parts that come along with those. That will lead to logistical difficulties in a mainland European campaign. The British will be moving to the Victor as the main tank along with the supporting tanks likely based on the Valiant unless the current versions stay as they are based on other cruisers.
Where I can see the Ram/Jumbuck providing sterling service will be out east. While the current mix of tanks are doing good work, particularly the Matilda II's, they have limitations. The Dominion tanks will be superior to anything else out their either in DUKE service or in Japanese hands. The only arguably better tank will be the Sherman and they will be in limited supply out east so I can't see the DUKE forces getting any. Given it's superiority along with the advantage of simplifying logistics focusing on this "one" tank design then sending it out east would seem like the best option.
What this will mean for the Canadian tankers, well they should get Victors eventually. I can't see the Canadian government wanting to be seen sending their troops into battle in a 2nd rate tank, even a "home grown" tank. The training they are currently doing will need updating for a new tank but the fundamentals will still apply.
