Hi Bob, by 1944 the LRDG was no longer active in North Africa, as far as I can tell.

Anyhow, by 1944 any trucks destined for miltary service were not sold through a distributor who wanted to set up his own business (see the link to the files for the ongoing dispute). No doubt these were for civilian/ local use.
