		The Norseman V, which was produced from the end of WW2 by Noorduyn and later by CCF, is the civil equivalent of the UC-64A.
		The aircraft was converted from a Norseman V, and the first flight was made in Montreal in the autumn of 1951.

	Norsemen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The meaning of Norseman was 'people from the North' and was applied primarily to people from southern and central Scandinavia.
		Norse, Norseman, and Normans were all terms in use during the period from the late 8th century to the 11th century, while Norse invaders and explorers were also (and now, more famously) known as Vikings.
		Norsemen can also be used to refer to the group of people as a whole who speak one of the North Germanic languages as their native language.

		Noorduyn started producing the aircraft in 1936 as the Norseman II but soon found it was underpowered.

		Paul, I presume that the tail jack-point was forward of the tail wheel, if so then I would hazard a guess that the tubual structure might have been there as an attach point for an oleo shock strut for a rear ski.
		Only other idea is that it might have had a loop for a trailing HF antenna to reel out through.
		I do not know of an answer to either of those questions, but merely to ask the questions...many modifications were made during and after WW II....possibly if a history of this particular aircraft exists, an answer could be found there.
