More likely just down to inertia/bureaucracy. My father was at one point the wireless operator/gunner in a Morris LRC during the Italian campaign - they were issued with the Boys even though it was useless against anything armoured they were likely to encounter. As a result it was transferred to the unit's cook (who was extremely short and looked somewhat ridiculous on parade with it).
