Perhaps. Seen a lot of Volvos in the bone yard, stopped seeing LayCock equipped OD's at the onset of the fuel injected engines. Canadian export option?

Anyhow, I seriously doubt it would ressemble a D type OD unit, as it was supposedly only good for 130 lb ft of torque or something like 90hp.

Could be an uprated J type.
