There is only evidence of one Morris LRC ever serving with 43rd Recce during the war. This is refered to in a period article which appeared in Autocar Magazine during 1944.
Any thing is obviously possible, but I would be supprised if the army had not standardised on the Mk11 (in Europe) by this stage, keeping earlier marks for training. I dont know if you have been able to check when Mk11 production started.
The Reconnaissance Corps were firmly wedded to the Humber product by this stage, so the Morris tended to be used for subsidiary roles such as RE Bridging Companies. The Ian West example you feature on your web site was found in a barn with delivery mileage only on the speedo. At least three were cut down after the war and used as recovery vehicles. Presumably there was a good supply of low mileage vehicles available after the war.
