Without checking any sources, my feeling is that the HUP/HUA/HUW would have been shipped assembled rather than shipped CKD for assembly in the UK. There would be some volume saving in taking the tires/wheels/axles off (to stow inside the truck - hopefully not damaging the interior fittings, or under the truck in the crate reducing the space saving), but less than in breaking down a GS truck (specially the ones with knock down / bolt together bodies). What was gained by removing parts would be set against added size for the crate thickness, and the loss of being able to roll the truck around.
I will check more when closer to reference materials if no-one else gives a good answer first.
