Workshops have funny reasons for doing things. The wartime Jeeps were obviously well known and very likely there were lots of parts on the shelf. There is an irrational logic about keeping something known vs changing to the unknown. It is possible the workshop had men to keep busy, and they knew Jeeps but weren't willing to retrain for Land Rovers. Or, there was some forgotten order to expend all parts? If there were blocks in the lineup and parts in the bins, why not use them up?
