Bob,
You should know better than to try to find logic in the Army!
Obviously there is no difference in the scenario you identify. However, in most cases it is the role of the RCASC to pick up parts from the RR station while the R de CHAUD vehicle was there to support unit training. This doesn't mean that the Chaud CO couldn't order his driver to do a pick up but if the goods were in the military supply system and had to go via the QM Stores prior to unit/individual issue then it is most likely an RCASC lorry that would be dispatched, by the QM, to pick up the goods.
To over simplify the difference between the two fleets, MGO vehicles were issued to units to provide support to the unit while RCASC vehicles were to provide support to the Army.
