hi Hanno,
I am not sure the WK-60 would have been outdated then. It was whole lot more powerful then the Retriever and its counterparts and the Austin K6 Gantry did not come along until the end of 1944, then in several contracts. There was obviously still a role for this type of vehicle for light aid. The Austin continued in service for another 15 years to.
