The ones like that I've seen have been Canadian Expeditionary Force from World War One. I don't know if they continued to wear these after the war.
Yes "42" is Black Watch, and as you probably know the Black Watch of Canada are headquartered in Montreal.
These had 5 tassels, at least the ones I've seen. Here are some WWI CEF sporrans and some British WWI (or possible WWI) sporrans.
