It wouldn't surprise me if many Blitz owners decided the pipe structure had caught in one too many trees and just heaved it to be rid of it.

I think you're right, although probably it happened even before the vehicles were disposed of, you see them in the factory or official images, then rarely in service pics. Probably if you weren't in an area under possible threat of aerial attack they were a major nuisance.

The little 12 cwt Plymouth utes were also fitted

I owned two of these utes in the early 1980's , another project I should have kept, along with the 41 Pontiac ute .... that I sold to Colin Anderson . Mike
