A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Seems like the wing they ran before Monaco to me. In Monaco they ran a wing with larger flap, in Canada a smaller overall wing,

For sure they ran a different rear wing in Canada, you are right, but in my opinion also amouzouris is right because the DRS flap looks smaller and also the profile is curved, at least more than the one use in Monaco and tested before the Monaco GP. I've tried to make a comparison between the two tested rear wing, enjoy :D

You are comparing it to the Monaco wing. In Monaco they ran the wing with the larger flap. Before that they ran the same wing as they run now

This RW indeed looks like the RW that they have been using before Monaco and probably in Canada too. This chassis is also sporting the 100th GP anniversary livery btw.
