Re the disposal of the Jeeps, there would have been some disposed of with each acquisition of new Jeeps, as well as during the downsizing of the military around 71/72.
So when the Cdn 2 came out, some M38Cdn and M38A1Cdn would have been surplus. Same when the Cdn3 came out, and finally, with the adoption of the M151A2 in the mid 70s, the last of the early fleets would have been disposed of.
Standard Military Pattern vehicles were not generally disposed of on a whim. If they were disposed of outside of the fleet replacement programs, or downsizing eras, it was usually due to severe accident damage. Even when estimates would exceed the repair expenditure limit on SMP vehicles, Ottawa would almost always come back and authorize the repair.
