Its definitely an F-86. The Canadians bought a number of them and I believe designated them CL-13.

Canadian Sabres were actually license built by Canadair in Montreal. Beyond pattern aircraft non-were purchased and by the end of the production run (Mk. 6) they had Avro Orenda engines and were considered among the best Sabres produced, with many foreign orders.
