Default 10-stud 16" rims

Does anybody know what kind of British vehicles in North Africa used split 16" rims for 10-stud hubs, mounting 10.50-16 diamond-pattern Goodyear sand tyres? Currently I only know about the LRDG Chevrolet WAs (according to an old Wheels & Tracks article, the only WAs with 10-stud hubs were those of the LRDG, the standard being 5) and the Canadian Chevrolet CC60L. Actually I'm interested in the latter, since the rims used on the WAs were quite different.

I was wondering whether the Maple Leaf Chevrolets like those found here http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/showthread.php?t=5769 could have used those, I know it cannot be any CMP since they only used 6-stud hubs (8cwts) or 8-stud (all the others). Also, all the Bedford, Morris etc. trucks I could check from wartime pictures used 8-stud hubs.

Attached below is a sample of the rim, from a modified CC60L in the Libyan Desert in Free French use.
