Canada always got the same long missiles/guns all the US versions did. Later series went back to the original length missiles.

From tfwiki "There are two variations of Long Haul: one with a slotted chest (a hold-over from the first Diaclone variant where the Super Wing chestplate connected to the Dump Truck instead of the Truck Crane), and one without."
The Super Wing attaches to Hook's tailpipe rather than into the slot in Long Haul and it was removed from later versions after the 80s. The wing still has the tab but it's about 1/8" away from where the slot would be. I couldn't find why it is so far back.
It's been only connected to Hook for all the NA releases.

B) Will it have that orange plug that the US makes them put in some of the figures and if yes, can it be removed without damaging the figure? I'm not sure if Canada has a similar rule or not.

The plug isn't glued in from a lot of the US retailers so it can be removed but they DO have to open the box to install it so no MISB from them if that's what you're keen on.
