Actually Scout = rear armour on right hand side only (from the side appears identical to later carriers) Also the rear armour top 3/4 folds down on hinges on Scout.

My hunch is that there are one or two former scout hulls still in existence with th rear armour removed (really only two main panels plus the armoured engine cover and converted to what ever use. A cut down Scout would be difficult to differentiate from any other early carrier undercarriage to the casual observer.

That is probably the reason why they were all coverted and disappeared - a couple of plates off and you have yourself an instant tractor.
