Cas,
I asked at Kew for you today, lot of puzzled faces but they went through the database with me and found one that may have a chance of shedding some light. This is document WO33/3105, which is a report of the Empire Military Demobilization Process.
Ran out of time today but will be back there next week so I will pull this document for you and see if there is anything there.
