Hi Stuart I typed a reply the first time round, but it's either disappeared, or perhaps I didn't press the "submit" button.

Anyway, what I said was I felt the "Gold" reference was simply to celebrate the Montreal Olympics, no more than that.
I know Pye once had a subsidiary company operating in Canada, but perhaps not as late as 1976. It's quite likely that Pye supplied equipment to the Olympics, but even if they didn't, lot's of firms would want to use sponsorship and get their branding associated with the event.
