I've amended the text after finding a newspaper article. A more likely destination is what what later became the Airborne museum, though I am sure the large artefacts did not end up there. The cost to transport them there was probably prohibitive and I reckon they were cut up for scrap in-situ.

or used for the filming of "Theirs is the Glory" ???

Edit: the 2 Panthers in "Theirs is the Glory" are Ausf. D's......so not the one in Jon's picture.
